The AGA took place in person at IFAD HQs in Rome, Italy and on zoom and streamed over the internet. The Platform is working with the donor community and other key actors to help facilitate coordination and investments across an integrated set of pathways for action. For instance, support for food systems coalitions, national pathways and other initiatives that have emerged from the 2021 United Nations Food Systems Summit (FSS) process is crucial, with a focus on how these initiatives can accelerate and scale up change at local and national levels.
- The 2022 AGA took the FSS outcomes into account, contextualizing the need to accelerate progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – and in particular SDG2, zero hunger – through the strengthening of national pathways and national-level coordination of actions and agricultural and rural development strategies.
- The AGA also held sessions on central topics to food systems transformation and rural development, such as country-level coordination, data for decision-making, rural youth employment and land governance.
