229. UN Food Systems Champions Discussing Power Imbalances in Food and Agriculture

Food Tank has partnered with the International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD), the Global Alliance on the Future of Food to interview 25+ United Nations Food Systems Champions. Today is the first of seven discussions in the lead up to the UN Food Systems Summit and the first theme is "Addressing Power Imbalances Through Shared Power and Inclusivity." Food Tank brings together incredible leaders from four continents for this discussion including Ajay Vir Jakhar of Bharat Krishak Samaj); Michelle Nunn, CEO of CARE USA; Jessica Vega Ortega of the Global Indigenous Youth Caucus); Mamadou Goita of the Institute for Research and Promotion of Alternatives in Development and special guest Christine Ciccone of The International Fund for Agricultural Development.

Dani is moderating alongside Ruth Richardson of the Global Alliance on the Future of Food who is also the Chairwoman of the UN Food Systems Summit Champions Network. We've done our best to identify who is speaking throughout.

The next discussion with five more UN Food Systems Champions will be on live on February 25 at 9AM EST themed "Public Research for the Public Good." You can register at FoodTank.com/Events. If you find value in this work, please consider becoming a Food Tank member at FoodTank.com/Join.
