🌽The issue of #FoodSystems was high on the agenda at #COP28
✅The transformation of the way food is produced & consumed was finally recognized as a key solution to tackle the #ClimateCrisis.
❗️But much more is indeed to build & support healthy & resilient food systems.
#COP28 has placed #FoodSystems front & centre of the climate fight.
That must be celebrated, but it must also translate into urgent & adequately financed action on the ground, explains @FOLUCoalition's @morgan_gillespy.
"Incremental & underfunded steps are not an option."
How can #BlueFoods contribute to climate mitigation?
Countries can enforce carbon mitigation requirements for aquaculture & fisheries, promote shifts toward culturally appropriate and nutritious blue food diets, & adopt circular economies.

#ActionOnFood was the starter, main & dessert at #COP28 yesterday, with news that the Emirates Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient #FoodSystems & #ClimateAction has reached 152 signatories.
But that wasn't the only headline! 🧵
'This COP, we've seen a huge amount of interest from media in speaking to frontline food producers + farmers. We've also seen a shift and growth in collaboration across the food systems community to call for change.'
