Last year’s United Nations Food Systems Summit, or UNFSS, held on the sidelines of the General Assembly, was billed as a game changer for the way the world grows, harvests, and transports food.
The U.N. promised it would not just bring different sectors together for a one-time gathering, but would form relationships and a standing infrastructure to continue the work beyond the sometimes contentious two-day meeting in New York all the way until 2030.
That promise has taken the form of a U.N. Food Systems Coordination Hub led by Stefanos Fotiou, who believes that as important as deciding what the hub should do is deciding what it should not do.
