The United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator, Edward Kallon stressed stressed the importance of engaging businesses, youth, and communities in the food security and agriculture sector and their role in transforming food systems, fostering climate resilience, and achieving sustainable development goals. "A lot is weighed against developing countries' ability to shape food systems. In many cases, the essential financial and value chain systems are absent and must be constructed from the ground up," said Kallon. This highlights the urgent need for cohesive efforts in building resilient food systems that can drive economic growth and lift entire communities out of recurrent hunger and poverty.
