Our Food Systems at Risk: Scaling-up Resilient Agri-Food Production
At this event, farmers, agri-food actors and disaster risk management decision makers will share their experiences in building resilient food systems.
COVID-19, climate change, pollution, biodiversity loss, conflict and other disasters are aggravating food insecurity and posing an existential threat to both humans and ecosystems alike.
In the face of these threats, comprehensive risk management can help make food systems more resilient. Risk reduction can protect investments in agriculture as well as markets and transportation, ecosystems and child and maternal health.
This event will unpack the systemic nature of risk in relation to food systems and encourage innovative thinking in identifying, managing and preventing complex risk drivers that threaten the resilience of food production. Discussions will center around the intersections between disaster risk management and climate change adaptation in the agricultural sector as a key solution towards more risk- and climate-resilient and sustainable food systems.
This event is co-hosted by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, the World Farmers' Organisation and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
This event is at 12:00 PM GMT+2.
