New report: Inclusive food systems needed to boost development, resilience (Reuters) 

Reuters published an op-ed by Director General Johan Swinnen. As the world battles the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the social and economic disruption it is generating, concern about the impact it will have on food systems is growing. Swinnen discussed findings and recommendations from the 2020 Global Food Policy Report. The Report states that inclusive food systems play a critical role in meeting global goals to end poverty, hunger, and malnutrition; the report also offers recommendations for making food systems more inclusive for marginalized groups, such as well-crafted government policies.
