I am speaking now on at the #AGRF2022 Summit on food system resilience. In planning for resilient food systems, policymakers need to think and plan for multiple crises happening at the same time.

[Global Panel @Glo_PAN]

Director @SandyM_Thomas is speaking now at the @TheAGRF 2022 Summit on "Stopping Crises by Seizing Opportunities to Build Resilient Food Systems". We must place the resilience of food systems in a wider & longer-term context to achieve sustainable healthy diets for all.
