Countries around the world are now taking steps to mitigate the crisis and build the resilience that is urgently needed to protect against future shocks – from farmer-managed seed systems to the replacement of chemical inputs with agroecological practices. This event will hear about the pioneering responses governments are developing and deploying, and how we can ensure coordinated, comprehensive action at the global level.

The event is co-hosted by Alliance Bioversity-CIAT, Global Alliance for the Future of Food, IPES-Food, SWISSAID and Tanzania.
