As part of the 3rd cycle of the UNDP Co-inquiry on food systems transformation, between June and November 2022, four participatory dialogue sessions were conducted to identify key questions, challenges, and potential solutions in relation to this question: “How can we work more systemically to accelerate progress towards a more sustainable food system?”

This report gathers their conclusions. Some of the topics covered include how to design multistakeholder processes considering power considerations; managing group dynamics or what are the key mechanisms for shifting power dynamics to transform food systems.
