Innovation and adequate nutrition for all

The Swiss representatives also stressed the importance of innovation in all its forms and the realization of the right to adequate food for all.
Switzerland appreciates the multi-stakeholder nature of the pre-summit and is convinced that the involvement of all stakeholders is necessary to make our food systems more sustainable.
The Pre-Summit took place ahead of the Food Systems Summit in September in New York, in parallel with the UN General Assembly.
Between March and June, Switzerland had already organized several dialogues: a national multi-stakeholder dialogue, a dialogue between Swiss cities, a dialogue with international development cooperation partners, and a dialogue between young actors of change.
They are all part of the preliminary work leading up to the Food Systems Summit.
Participants in these dialogues have identified measures to support the transformation to more sustainable food systems in Switzerland and globally.
