Two years have passed since the UN Food System Summit, and it is time for the first global stocktaking on the progress toward sustainable and equal agrifood systems. This is the time to assess what have we learnt and what more do we need know and do to trigger actions and scale them up to enable the transformation of our agrifood systems.
We are excited to welcome you to the SIANI Global Annual Meeting 2023. We met already in Stockholm in March, but now it’s time for us to all meet online!
SIANI initiated a new programme phase in 2023, and the SIANI secretariat is excited to share information about the new programme phase, invite you all to share your experiences and knowledge, and discuss how we move forward. Each one of us can contribute, and SIANI as a networking platform needs now more than ever before to come together and contribute to a sustainable, resilient and inclusive future.
This meeting will be an opportunity to connect, share ideas and exchange experiences in order to forward the discussions and initiate actions.
The meeting will be held online via Zoom. Please register here to get your personal Zoom Link.
