This side-event will discuss the ways we can enhance international financial architecture to support sustainable food systems (SFS) transformation while keeping in mind the unique and particular challenges of Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). Through a panel discussion and an interactive dialogue with the audience, this event seeks to foster a multi-actor discussion to collaboratively offer ideas and recommendations addressing the financial gap to the realisation of SDG2 and the transformation of food systems by 2030.
