 What kind of world do I want to live in? I think about this question a lot. For our generation and for specifically my group of people, which is refugees, the circumstances might dismantle any vision of the future that we have. You're trying to rebuild, you're trying to make a future for yourself and then the climate-related disaster comes and you start again. It's not about how it's affecting you now, it's about how it's affecting you your entire life. The first step to understand is that we're all a part of it. None of us are going to be left out by the crisis. We're at a stage where if we don't act now, really there won't be very much left. There are generations that will never see certain things that we grew up seeing in real life. We have to start treating this like the emergency it is to achieve the 17 sustainable development goals. We have to go from an intention to a serious commitment. Business leaders really need to rethink how they conduct their business and invest in creating systems that are climate-friendly. The action I would like to see is accountability. Structures being put in place where countries aren't just asked to do something but they're kept accountable to the decisions that they make. There has to be that strong collaboration between government, between corporations, between youth activists to drive change forward. The world I would want to live in is a world where imagining the future is not a privilege. I want to live in a world where people do not give up on hope. Hope that a positive change is possible. The fact that you're listening today means that you are willing to make a change. Hello everyone. My name is Jane Nelson and it is my very great pleasure to welcome our panelists and our viewers to this important discussion on galvanizing country-led pathways for food, which we're having the day before the United Nations hosts its first ever Food Systems Summit, where the international community will be coming together around a shared agenda of delivering food systems that are healthy for people and healthy for the planet. The leadership challenge we all face is clear. It's compelling and it's urgent. As United Nations Secretary General said yesterday, we face the greatest cascade of crises in our lifetime. The climate crisis, the COVID-19 crisis, the crisis of growing conflict and inequality, and there can be absolutely no doubt that one of the most important pathways for tackling these crises is strengthening our food systems and ensuring that our food systems are more inclusive, that they're more sustainable, more resilient, and more healthy and nutritious. What type of bold action is needed to strengthen our food systems? In the lead-up to the Food Systems Summit, an enormous amount of work has been done around the world, including over 1,500 national food systems dialogues that have happened at national and local places around the globe, bringing together policymakers, business leaders, consumers, farmers, youth activists, community organizers, around the question of what type of future do we want for food systems? And I think one of the strongest messages that has come out of all the preparation is the critical importance of country-level leadership, country priority setting and country pathways, owned very much by national governments but with all the other stakeholders around the table as part of the agenda. And as of this morning, 93 countries have released their own specific pathways for their view of the transformation of their food system. And although each pathway is unique, one of the common themes through all of them is the crucial importance of new models of partnership and coalitions in order to drive more sustainable, resilient and inclusive, unhealthy and nutritious food systems. And it's those types of partnerships that we're going to be focusing on in our panel discussion. One example of such a partnership is the Food Action Alliance, which is an initiative that brings together public and private partners both globally and at the level of specific countries and value chains and flagship initiatives aiming to mobilize resources, finances and coordination to make these initiatives more effective. And just as weak as part of the Sustainable Development Impact Summit, the Food Action Alliance has launched a new report about multi-stakeholder coalitions for food systems transformation drawing on over 10 years of experience of some of the things that work and what doesn't work at the country level and a call to action for new models of partnership at the country level. And we have a fantastic group of panelists to share with us their priorities and examples of country-led food transformation. First of all, Dr. Agnes Kalibata, who is the Special Envoy for the UN Food Systems Summit. Secondly, His Excellency, the Minister of Agriculture from Colombia, Mr. Rodolfo Zea, Mr. Gilbert Humbu, who is the President of the International Fund for Agricultural Development, IFAD. Good to have you with us, Gilbert. Pilar Cruz, the Chief Sustainability Officer at Cargill, and Jay Shroff, the CEO of UPL. So thank you all for being with us today. Before we dive into the panel, I also have pleasure in introducing His Excellency, the Deputy Prime Minister of Vietnam, Mr. Pham Binh Minh, who will make some opening keynote remarks. Over to him. Ladies and gentlemen, I thank the World Economic Forum for inviting me to address this summit. As the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change have exacerbated the weakness and shortcomings in the global food system, countries need to strengthen partnership to promote the sustainability and adaptability of national food systems in the new norm. Sustainable agriculture and food security are among the pillars of Vietnam's socio-economic development strategy for 2021 to 2030, in which we privatise the development of eco-farming, large-scale high-tech, low-emission and climate-resilient agriculture. And we are committed to the transition to a transparent, accountable and sustainable food system. For further governising countries led pathways to food, I wish to propose the following areas of cooperation. First, we must maintain stable and seamless every country's supply chains globally. Countries need to minimise unnecessary barriers to food production and export, enhance value chain connectivity, promote e-commerce, reform the system of origin traceability, logistics, transport and quality control. Vietnam wishes to collaborate with all stakeholders to promote agriculture and fishery exports, thus moving Vietnam upward in the regional and global agricultural supply chains. Second, the green and digital transformation of agriculture is an urgent need. Therefore, financial, technological and capacity-building assistance for developing countries is critical for the transition to more sustainable and climate-resilient food system. Vietnam stands ready to become a food innovation centre in Asia and we will continue to actively join initiatives on innovation, digital transformation and environmental protections in the agricultural sector. Third, it is imperative to further strengthen platforms for partnership and cooperation in sustainable agriculture and encourage the participation and support of all actors, particularly through PPP projects. Vietnam is among the original members of the partnership for sustainable agriculture within the web, a partnership that could serve to be a model, a preference in building partnerships in this area. Fourth, given the strong urgency of containing the pandemic and promoting sustainable recovery, we stress the importance of equitable access to vaccines. The international community should also accelerate corporations in the manufacturing of vaccines and treatment drugs in this regard. Vietnam is committed to working closely with partners around the world in the fight against COVID-19 and on the part towards sustainable and inclusive recovery, including green and sustainable agriculture. Thank you. Thank you very much to His Excellency and I think a very, very important connection he made there between sustainable agriculture and food security on the one hand and effective public health interventions, specifically in his case vaccines, but public health and nutrition on the other hand. And the link also and crucial importance of digital platforms to help us as well. I'd like to now start Dr. Kali Bhatta with you and first of all just acknowledge and say thank you for your remarkable leadership over many, many years, but particularly your leadership in the lead up to the UN Food Systems Summit. This obviously is an incredible opportunity to put food much more at the center as a priority for the sustainable development goals. And it would be great if you could get us going sort of sharing what your top priorities are, particularly at the country level for the summit. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak to you today and really thank you for working this journey with us coming this far. We have one day to go to the summit so we are really excited. Agnes, can you, we can't hear you so if you can, you're a little quiet. I don't know if it's just me. Okay, can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? It's better, yes. Okay, is that better? Very good. So I was again appreciating the support we've got from all of you and coming this far and going straight to the very question you're asking, how do we ensure that we come through? I think we've seen a number of things. And we've been working on ensuring that there's a shift in the mindset that we stop looking at food and food systems from a perspective of ending hunger, dealing with diets, the challenge of diets or even dealing with the challenge of climate change that we actually look at food in the totality that it presents itself as a system and start working like that. So that has been a major focus of the work we are doing. The next bit is of course ambition. Is it possible to actually raise ambition as we work with the food system to ensure that we can see the change we want to see? And this has been captured in what we are calling the means of implementation when it comes to how we would deliver against food systems. It looks at how we mobilize finances. It looks at how those finances would transform into political instruments or political policy frameworks that get implemented. But it also looks at how we are ready to take on innovation. How do we innovate and continue sharing that we are using innovation to change how we move, how we go forward. And then the last two things would be around inclusivity. How do we ensure that everything we are doing, we are coordinating well across sectors, but also we are bringing in all stakeholders because they have something to offer. And then how do we build partnerships, we started with the whole coalition, all the coalition we are talking about is a recognition that no single partner can deliver on this alone, that we need to come together around areas that are very critical to us delivering against the SDGs and against an improved or transforming food system, that we need to come together on those areas. So if we can form partnerships that ensure that we are coming through together in areas where individual countries, individual nations can't do it alone, then we will possibly be able to bend the curve that we've been looking to bend in this food system transition that we are looking for. Dr. Karle Barton, I think your point, particularly about inclusivity, how are we much more intentional in both policymaking on the business side as well, to be clear who are the stakeholders, who are the most vulnerable, both producers, farmers, consumers, long food value chains, and how do they have a voice at a place at the table as we build these partnerships and policy priorities. And coming to public policy priorities, I'd like to bring in now, His Excellency, the Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Zea, Columbia, you and your colleagues have already demonstrated great leadership of national priority setting around food systems, and it would be great to sort of hear your insights on what are some of the actions you've taken at the country level and what do you see as some of the priorities. And to our viewers, the Minister will be sharing his comments in Spanish and translation should be available on your screens. Your Excellency, over to you. Well, thank you very much. A cordial greeting to all the colleagues and people who are joining us on this panel and who are watching us. From Columbia, we have made a policy on food security starting from the regions. For that, the Interceptorial Commission on Food Security and Nutrition, CISAN, has been established and we are transmitting a law that allows food security to be also food sovereignty. What does it consist of? What is consumed in the regions of Columbia is what people are used to historically consume and through research and science, as it has been working with the Biodiversity Seat Alliance, and also with Agrosavia, to fortify these foods in a natural and organic way so that people can improve their food with what they are used to historically consume. It has also included rural women and we have programs like Pacific opportunities in the Colombian Pacific where we are supporting the productive chain of these women to have quality food. All of this in search of improving the country in the future in productivity but in a sustainable way with the environment. And for that, today we have alliances with the Ministry of Environment to be able to produce and preserve and be able to meet the goals of President Iván Duque to reduce greenhouse gas in 51% to 20% to 30%. To be able to plant 180 million trees and to reach 180,000 hectares with wild pastoral systems and sustainable regenerative livestock that can turn livestock in Colombia into an activity that can capture CO2. In that way, we work in productivity with technology, research and science to improve the food of the Colombians and be able to reach the world. Thank you very much, Your Excellency. I think you have four sort of very, very strong messages that I think align with Dr. Calabata's there. First of all, again, this message of inclusion and your example of the inclusion of rural women in some of your initiatives. Secondly, the importance of science and data and technology and really strengthening the capabilities of national level research institutions and their links with each other. Thirdly, your point about both quality food but also food diversity and really recognizing local foods, local traditions and applauding and supporting those. And then, fourthly, your point about policy coordination and the fact that you were working with your colleagues in the Environment Department and I know also in the Ministry of Economics that we have more integration at the government level across different industries around food. So thank you for highlighting, I think, those important messages. And I would like to now move from a government perspective to our two business colleagues and bring in another wonderful Colombian, Pilar. As I mentioned earlier, the Chief Sustainability Officer at Cargill. Pilar, from your perspective as a global food company but operating obviously in many countries, most countries around the world, is the priorities for transforming food systems at the country level. So Jane, first of all, thank you for the opportunity to participate in this event. We are delighted to be here with all of you today. And yes, we believe that the greatest opportunity to drive a more sustainable food system starts right there where our food system begins and that is the farm and the farmer. We know that agriculture can be a force for good. Cargill believes that agriculture and agriculture is how we are going to address climate change, protect the planet and feed a growing population in a safe, sustainable and responsible way. So how are we doing this? Let's look at what is happening within the agricultural sector across North America where thousands of farmers and producers are adopting more sustainable practices that benefit life above and below the Earth's surface. Let's look at regenerative agriculture as an example where farmers eliminate tillage or add cover crops to their land. Not only they improve their yields, but they also become more efficient and productive, which at the end of the day we all know it brings significant economic value to the farm. In addition to that, they perceive significant sustainability benefits like capturing carbon in the soil. The long-term benefits are significant including improving the fertility of the land for future growing seasons. And this is why Cargill is partnering with farmers to bring these practices to 10 million acres in North America by 2030. But I talked about above and below the land. So how does it work above the land? Across areas like in the southern Great Plains in North America, which is responsible for about a third of the beef production in the U.S., ratchets are also rotating grazing practices to improve and promote biodiversity and enhance the health of the soy and hold carbon in the soil. So for Cargill, it all begins right there with the farmer. We are also working with partners such as WWF and TNC and customers like Walmart, McDonald's and Cisco. And we are also partnering with farmers replicating these practices and improving the sustainability of the beef supply chain all the way from the farm to the restaurant. And in summary, I think we have mentioned this before, that no single entity or government is going to solve our food system challenges alone. We in our company believe that collaboration is a must amongst all of us who are joining this call and this event today. But also we are pleased to be a member of the Food Action Alliance. We believe this collective effort is going to drive transformation within the food system faster and at a scale. And my last comment, Jane, only by working together with farmers at the center, is to build a global food system that is inclusive, sustainable and resilient. Well, thank you. Thank you for that, Pilar. And I think, again, that message of inclusion coming through so strongly, includes the farmers, but also I think two of the most interesting partnership models at the country level for companies is with non-profit organizations, both food non-profits, environmental organizations, humanitarian organizations, to reach particularly the most vulnerable rural communities and vulnerable consumers, but also business-to-business partnerships. We talk a lot about public-private partnerships with these business-to-business partnerships with other food companies, but also with banks and technology companies, et cetera, which you touched on there. And I think a key message for us to take away. And a good segue to you, to you, Jane, and you and your colleagues and your team at UPL have just been incredible chunks now on strengthening food systems at the national level. Yes. Thank you, Jane. Thank you. Pleasure to be here and see everyone. And good luck for the meeting this week. At UPL, we believe in the fact that farmers are a key source of enablement for the world. And I think that by by rewarding and recognizing the farmer at the center, as my panelist, Lahr said, you can drive the biggest amount of impact towards decarbonizing the world. Today, we are incentivizing large industrial companies by rewarding them for being sustainable. And I think we need to relook at the amount of incentive and reward and recognition we are giving to the smallest farmers, smallholder farmers to motivate them to change practices, to improve practices and to be regenerated. This is really an exciting journey at UPL. We have been working on technologies to be able to enable them. And we believe that together with the governments, organizations, NGOs and other private sector, I think if we are able to incentivize and reward the smallholder farmers, it is unfortunate that most people eat three times a day. And the people supplying the food for us are the poorest in the world. This is an irony that needs to be sorted out. And we can't have the farmers who are actually the biggest industrial base being the poorest people. So it's very important. I love the agenda. I love the subjects. I think working together with the governments, I think Agnes is doing an amazing job of raising awareness for Africa, for India. What we expect as a private sector is that the governments agree on the priorities on value chains. Vietnam is an amazing example of a country which has been able to drive transformation of various value chains and become a world leader. Coffee, I think cashew, fish exports. They've just done an amazing job by focusing creating the right infrastructure training needs because a farmer needs a value chain for processing and all those kind of things. And if we can get various countries and to focus on their priorities, we should be able to deliver results much, much faster. The Food Action Alliance is an amazing initiative and we are very happy to be part of that and supported to really transform the resilience of the small world of farmers. And it's such an important subject and we, with a little bit of incentive and reward, we can really transform the carbon footprint of the world and I think this is the easiest way to do it. Thank you. Absolutely, Noel. Thank you. I think you really want to reiterate and reinforce your comment about incentives. And it goes back to Agnes talking in the beginning also. There are so many ways to engage mindsets and behaviors and one of the ways to do that is incentives. And I think particularly for small-holder farmers what can governments do to improve market incentives for large companies to be more inclusive and sustainable and then what can large companies do who are working with small-holder farmers to provide much, much sort of stronger incentives for as you say a production that's sustainable and also incentives for more nutritious food. So thank you for that and a good segue to President Hung Bao. You and your team again have played a remarkable leadership role for many, many years but very much in the lead up to the summit and as we go through the summit and going forward IFAD and FAO and World Food Program will be playing a crucial role in determining the outcomes of the summit. And so it would be great to get your priorities on what you think is particularly important at the country level. Thank you so much. First of all, great to see you once again. I mean, for us all of that said and done tomorrow after the summit I consider that the real beginning all we have done is what we call in Italy the aperitivo we are just preparing the ground the real thing will start as you mentioned in your introductory remark the leadership that we have from the country through the pathway and others so one of the key role that the Rome based agencies, IFAD, WFP, FAO and again with other UN agencies and development partners is to ensure that we adjust our support programs to the countries in moving ahead with their pathways. Secondly, it's going to be important for us to have a coordinated approach and harmonized approach. Right now we feel and which is good news the momentum we have created together a very high level of momentum and there's so many initiatives so it is going to be important for us to ensure that there is some kind of a coordinated way of addressing the different dimension for the issue both from food security perspective from climate change perspective and from the economic perspective. My next point is going to be quite critical and then maybe I'm looking at specifically IFAD angle. Let's keep in mind that when we start this whole story of the food systems not only is a way to really put together from the small scale producers to the commercial food system companies to ensure that these not only leaders to better nutritious food and fighting hunger but also to provide minimum decent living income for those small scale producers and therefore that's going to be quite critical. How do we ensure that these coffee producers in Colombia at the end of the chain he or she has that minimum income to the work that and they are put there at the beginning at the production level. It does also include that not only we just link them up with the commercial farmers is also bringing them also as small scale producers as SMEs to do a minimum transformation so to be able to add value to what they are producing and my last point will be linked to the the climate change dimension we know that climate change particularly the adaptation level is going to be crucial and therefore having ways to provide the small scale producers in ensuring that they are better equipped to face the climate change and including extreme weather condition insurance is what we want to be working with the government on the country level. The last very last point if I may that they want to be of course the global engagement initiative that hopefully will continue and we have to encourage that and the national pathway at the national level and the different the scientists and all different initiative will go on. So what they are be a colleague together with other UN colleague we want to be the glue between these different parties so a coordinating matter where we should be able also to report back not only to the secretary general and the deputy secretary general in New York but also for us to report back to the high level political forum every year or every two years in New York so to ensure that there is a sense of accountability and a momentum being kept over the coming years to increase the chance of achieving SDG 1 and 2 by 2030. Over to you. Great thank you thank you thank you very much Gilbert. And one quick added question there what role do you see for the development banks, the world bank the regional development banks partnering with you on the the means of implementation. Yeah this is going to be if you look at what the one thing that if I was doing we are together with the French Agence Facilier de Blochement and here in Italy because of the positive press theory we trying to bring together the development partner the public development bank around the world to really create a platform so we can put all our effort together to create a greater synergy in providing finance to this specifically to the rural community to the small scale producer which is one. Secondly globally as a follow up on the full system summit. At the end of the day the financing is not the only issue let's be very clear but financing is an essential dimension we all know it so we're going to need the financial institutions the world bank of this world the IMF of this world the regional development banks trying to also come with different innovation in financing that can be made available to the different initiatives preferably at the country level but also the research dimension so that the result of the research and the scientific perspective the result of those work can be brought and scale up at the country at the country office level and that we need the financial institutions so yes it's a first of all the public development bank that we are working on but we see this bigger than just the public development bank but the whole financial institution that we need to step up their engagement and their involvement in providing innovative financing particularly to the rural world to lift up out of poverty and I think one key message I want to pull out from your comments amongst many great points is about living wage and living income and I think you're talking about in the context of farmers I think consumers as well I think one of our biggest challenges as a global community is to realize that if households do not have a living income or living wage the ability to feed their families in any nutritious healthy way is almost impossible and so in addition to sort of having social safety nets in times of crisis like we're currently going through I think getting business and governments working together on much more urgency on living wages and living income and the ILO and other UN agencies coming in on that is very important as well both for farmers and consumers so thank you all very very much for highlighting your priorities I think as we sort of come into starting to close up here there's sort of five key themes sort of coming through to me at the what's important at the country level first is this overarching message of inclusion and particularly governments and business leaders and large financial institutions being very intentional about inclusion of particularly rural communities small holder farmers, low income consumers the most vulnerable people that their priorities are addressed secondly the importance of policy coordination both between governments but between ministries within governments as the minister of agriculture shared with us and thirdly this critical importance of evidence based data analysis data collection, science, technology national research institutions and capabilities and fourthly the enormous enabler of digitization and your digital platforms and then fifth I think all of you in different ways have touched on finance and incentives and you're finding both innovative insurance mechanisms savings mechanisms etc as well as mobilizing multi-billion dollar finance for infrastructure so the financial innovation being obviously a key element as well so as we sort of move towards closing I'd like to ask each of you just to reflect obviously there are numerous priorities that you're all juggling with in your leadership roles but what would be one major commitment as we sort of move into the the UN food system summit tomorrow with a focus on these country-led priority setting, country-led pathways what would be one or two major commitments for you and your institution Gilbert can I come back to you to start with you on your major commitment as we as we lead into the into the summit that's a tricky question we have so many things that we want to commit ourselves to that it's difficult to make the major one but clearly for me is to be able to redirect our financing particularly we start in a new cycle in next January to ensure that we redirect our financing to a line behind the country's pathway secondly helping the countries to scale up the investment that are now at the country level so to be able to have a greater impact on the different coalitions that they are focusing in their pathways and what you sort of said earlier about public banks but also public pension funds and others at the country level how do we mobilize not just global finance but national resources and finance at the country level thank you Your Excellency Minister Zia can I come to you on what would be some of the major commitments and priorities for you and your colleagues we have the greenhouse gas emissions in a 51% for that today we have production chains such as palm trees, cacao, coffee, rice and the winery that have a commitment of zero deforestation additionally we are creating incentives and financing to make green products in agriculture and rural development and in the same way we are promoting green seeds to be able to be competitive in exportations to the world Thank you Again very important priorities and I'll just come back to you as well and I hope every government around the world can sort of follow your model of this inter ministerial cooperation around the food and so thank you for your leadership Pilar coming to you some key commitments from your side Thank you Jane From a Cargill perspective our commitment is to those who enable our food system more specifically the farmers and their communities we believe that we have to empower local farmers and communities to create their own food system to build economic opportunity and feed a growing population This is briefly an excellent example of how Cargill is doing this and it's our partnership with the hatching hope initiative and we have a goal to improve the livelihoods of about 100 million people around the world through the power of poultry farming we have an excellent example of a young Indian woman Maltilata Naik who is the primary earner in her family her farm wasn't doing well and she saw an excellent opportunity to come to hatching hope for support, for training for things like proper housing vaccinations and as a result of this the support she got from hatching hope and Cargill she was able to more than quadruple the size of the farm there are many many women like Maltilata around the world and we know that when they are empowered we strengthen local economies and we remove some of the vulnerabilities and inequalities in the food system and I know we can do this reminding us that 100 million farmers it's 100 million individual farmers and their households and individual stories, individual experiences individual challenges and focusing on that as well as the ambitious numbers so thank you for reminding us of that importance Jay over to you Thank you we are very excited about the project which we are doing in India about 5 million acres of rice farmers burn that crop because they don't have time to rotate the crop we've committed to end the crop burn we call it end the crop burn in the next three years so 5 million acres will stop this year it's the first year we launched the initiative where we are offering free service to use the enzyme to stop the farmers from crop burning it's a free service 500,000 acres will not burn this year and we are excited for almost 5 million acres in the next three years so it's a very exciting project we have a lot of commitment from other food companies and to classify and give traceability to the food produced by these farmers to be able to be differentiated and called sustainably grown it's a very exciting initiative a lot of support we are also doing something quite innovative there citizens of Delhi who suffer the impact of the crop burn can contribute online to individual farmers and sort of give them this incentive not to burn and to reward them in a small way it's not a major financial commitment but just increases the interaction between families living in Delhi and around contribute to these farmers who are changing their practices and sacrificing for a better environment back to one of Agnes's opening comments on the need to change mindsets we have to find more creative ways to link the producers and farmers with end consumers and the people who are consuming the food and cities so thank you for that example and I think also a great example of bringing together life science technology digital technology and financial technology with capability building at the level of the farmer you as a large company partnering with others can do so thank you and finally Agnes back to you with some closing comments what will you feel at the end of tomorrow in terms of major commitment and priority going forward thank you I was prepared to answer the same question you asked everybody else so I'm definitely looking to first of all closing on that ensuring that tomorrow we have a great summit all of us and we are already beginning on a very good note with the commitment from the US government yesterday of 10 billion dollars to commit to end to hunger but also then with the commitment from private sector yesterday of 345 million under the leadership of Lawrence Haddad that the private sector is putting on the table so if we continue with that tone I'm just thinking that if 10 more countries came forward the way the US did we would have the budget we need to end hunger in the next 10 years so really a very good start in addition to that of course is working with the RBS to ensure that we transition this work to the RBS and make sure that they can continue and then I go back to my day job which day job is going to be to ensuring that the commitments that the African countries have made in their pathways can be translated into investment plans and I'm focused on making sure that in the next two years at least we have investment plans from about 30 countries that are ready to go that give institutions like IFA the place to invest money and an institution like GESHA a place to invest their money so I'm excited to see to take this whole perspective of the summit back to the continent and get to work Great, well thank you so much Agnes and thank you again for your truly remarkable leadership and to all of you for your leadership and I think a very strong call to action there for all of us how do governments make specific time bound pledges and commitments, how can we get more companies to pledge whether it's a zero hunger pledge or other pledges and what can each of us do as individuals to support non-profit organizations and other initiatives that are focused on making food systems more inclusive and sustainable and resilient and nutritious and healthy and I think as we move forward three sort of closing comments for me at the country level it's absolutely clear that country-led leadership is where we need to go and I sort of take away three themes one investment plans how do we take these commitments into very specific national investment plans led by ministers like minister Dao and his colleagues in each country but working with business working with local pension funds development banks etc on how to implement those investment plans in specific value chains that are priorities that are identified at the country level secondly clearly innovation and we've had great examples here innovation and policy engagement and cross ministerial cooperation innovation and financing mechanisms innovation in technologies and very much innovation in partnership building and innovation in business models and taking an innovation mindset and the concept of innovation hubs forward together with sort of national level investment plans and priorities I think is the second key theme that has come through in many months but also today and then thirdly very importantly the message of inclusion and being so intentional around including both farmers and consumers particularly remote rural communities lower income farmers and consumers and the most vulnerable in any focus on building more sustainable and resilient and healthy food systems so country level investment plans innovation and the concept of innovation hubs and very very sort of strong focus on inclusion so thank you and I think it's very exciting the fact we've got 63 countries who have already put forward pathways so at least 63 investment plans already in the making and look forward to taking it together is it more than 63 already? 93 93 thank you thank you Agnes 93 countries and counting and many pledges coming from companies as well so thank you very very much to our panelists and I'd like to now hand over to Sean DeClean from the World Economic Forum to close us off Sean Thank you very much as a member of the Executive Committee of the World Economic Forum on whose behalf I just would like to thank the moderator Jay Nelson who together with a fantastic panel today I just think really brought this to life so well done I mean what the panel at least for me really articulated is what we can definitely expect from the summit is a united message from countries on their rapidly adopting a food systems approach at the individual country level and how important it's going to be for the international community moving forward to be supporting those country pathways for food system transformation so well done and very energetic and powerful message that came through and the forum along with the Food Action Alliance and other coalitions for action is just very keen to support this process offering its platform for leaders from all sectors from business government civil society international organizations as a scale accelerator in support of food systems transformation so I hope everyone got as much out of this panel today as I did but thank you very much
