This week, more than 3,000 delegates from across the globe are gathering in Addis Ababa for the UN Food Systems Summit +4 Stocktake (UNFSS+4), whose goal is to take stock of progress in transforming food systems to deliver healthy, equitable, and sustainable diets for all.

This milestone arrives with just five years left to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and at a time of intensifying global crises.
