UN Food Systems Summit +4 Stocktake (UNFSS+4) | High-Level Panel: Anticipating the Future of Food.


High-Level Panel: Anticipating the Future of Food: Science, Knowledge and Innovation for Just Transformations.

Session Overview: This session addresses the critical Science-Policy-Society interfacing gap in food systems research and practice. By mobilizing knowledge co-creation across actors, sectors and scales, it demonstrates how inclusive collaboration accelerates evidence-based food systems transformation by connecting local experience with global knowledge and translating global insights back to local solutions. The session brings together diverse voices including ministers sharing policy action, Indigenous leaders providing rights-based perspectives, and science and policy leaders offering insights on effective approaches and institutional arrangements. Such collaboration transforms fragmented expertise into collective intelligence, enabling integrated action serving nutrition, climate, biodiversity, health and economic development goals simultaneously. Drawing from stories of progress, the session showcases how evidence-based interventions achieve multiple outcomes and demonstrates how diverse knowledge systems drive multi-sector partnerships, establishing pathways for sustained engagement towards SDG achievement while ensuring locally appropriate, rights-based solutions.

Day 2 of the Stocktake will consider emerging priorities of Day 1 under an action-oriented, accountability-driven lens. It will delve into concrete thematic approaches that act as catalysts for sustainable food systems. The closing Plenary will tie together emerging global priorities, key accelerators of national transformations, and emerging consensus amongst committed and accountable food systems actors as to the direction, objectives and milestones for the next biennium towards 2030.
The 2nd UN Food Systems Summit Stocktake (UNFSS+4) will take place from July 27-29, 2025, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, co-hosted by Ethiopia and Italy. As we approach four years since the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit (UNFSS), UNFSS+4 will provide a platform for reflecting on progress, strengthening collaboration, and unlocking finance and investments to accelerate food systems transformation.
