Independent dialogue of the 2021 United Nations Food system summit (UNFSS)

"Strengthening international research cooperation on food systems"
In many instances, what is lacking is not more evidence but more actionable knowledge that may contribute to systemic changes, which requires supporting local innovations and encouraging and facilitating co-creation / co-design of knowledge. In support of that, leading research organizations from world regions could form networks or alliances to share science, access funding globally, providing quality and socially referenced teaching, and thus develop actionable knowledge supporting food systems transformations.
