Future Food System Summit Summary
What happened in our Future Food Systems Summit
Common Values:
Poca veces la herramienta que se construye desde fuera como que es utilizada dentro de la comunidad porque creo yo que algo que no sucede es como pues reflexionamos esos asuntos para que esas nuevas herramientas sean valoradas por la gente que vive ahí.
– Summit Participant
Participants came together and identified common values across the three group visions
La solidaridad, que aveces se ayuda al que se necesita con humildad. El compartir los saberes no quedándonoslo.
– Summit Participant
Final Vision:
Based on common values, participants created a shared vision of a desirable food system in 2050
Our vision, in 2050, is of a system deeply interconnected with nature, where soil and forest conservation and restoration are fundamental pillars. Young people, who are trained and aware, lead a model of agroecological, self-sufficient production rooted in teamwork and community organization.
Ensuring access to seeds and celebrating the value of agricultural work are essential, while diverse production systems and appropriate technologies sustain long-term viability. Food education, tailored to local contexts, promotes diverse diets based on native plants, reviving ancient foods and transforming public perception of healthy eating.
Commercially, we value food beyond its economic price, fostering fair, local, and accessible trade with special recognition of women’s contributions. Governance focuses on equity and justice, guaranteeing the right to health and nutritious food, with public policies directed by affected communities and programs ensuring access to healthy foods in all institutions.
