FAO: the pandemic opens the opportunity to rebuild by transforming the agri-food systems of Latin America and the Caribbean (La Red 21)

November 06, 2020


La Red 21 (Uruguay) published an article stating that more than 100 experts from various international development organizations including IFPRI are seeking joint solutions to recover post-pandemic, agri-food systems in the LAC. A key aspect for the new agri-food systems that the region must promote is that they guarantee healthy and healthy food for all: Director General Johan Swinnen said, “Healthy diets are not within the reach of 3 billion people globally. But we have seen a lot of creativity and innovation during the pandemic. The political environment has changed. Changes have been made that were previously unthinkable. We can use the crisis to move towards a world with more inclusive, sustainable, and healthy food systems for all.”
