Today, this episode coincides with a very important international gathering, the first of its kind at the United Nations. Known as the UN Food Systems Summit, formally, it is also called The People\u2019s Summit.
During this ongoing series we will seek to unlock the many changes needed to enable each sector \u2013 government, corporations and citizens to ask themselves, \u201cHow can we contribute to a transformative movement for an inclusive, regenerative and circular society where access to nutritious food is a right we actually realize for every single person?\u201d
But before we eat, we need to set the table. We\u2019re joined on this episode by:
