Food systems rely on the natural ecosystems that sustain them—but are we fully considering biodiversity in our long-term strategies? While climate change, water scarcity, and pollution are often at the forefront of discussions about food system sustainability, biodiversity remains an underexplored yet critical factor. In the face of fundamental challenges to food systems, we need more radical thinking— how we as humans engage with nature and what does it mean to take a nature-centred perspective to imagine food system transformation?

Food systems are inherently complex – unpredictable, dynamic, and unique to every country. To tackle these challenges, the UN Food Systems Youth Leadership Program (YLP), funded by the German government, empowers young leaders to tackle policy fragmentation and drive transformative change. This conference will amplify youth voices, strengthen global partnerships, and inspire the next wave of food systems changemakers.

Adequate dietary diversity has become widely acknowledged as a key factor in improving dietary quality. Monitoring and measuring sustainable improvements in dietary diversity can provide essential data to guide policy and strategy development aimed at enhancing nutrition through nutrition-sensitive agriculture and food system development. This data is crucial for transforming food systems that not only drive economic growth but also safeguard both human and planetary health.
