Food Systems Summit Dialogues

Food Systems Summit Dialogues offer a powerful opportunity for people everywhere to have a seat at the table at this milestone UN Summit. Dialogues bring together a diversity of stakeholders, including voices that are seldom heard, and provide an important opportunity for participants to debate, collaborate, and take action towards a better future. They give us the chance to connect, meet new partners, inspire and be inspired.

The ideas, solutions, partnerships and action plans generated in the Dialogues are critical to the Summit’s success. That’s why the Summit needs your input! We encourage you to join a Dialogue, or convene your own. In doing so, you can help us build a better future for food systems -- a future that is strong, safe, and fair for all.

Types of Dialogues

We invite everyone to consider organizing or participating in one of the three types of Summit Dialogues that will take place before and during the Summit.

• Member State Summit Dialogues are organized by national governments.
• Global Summit Dialogues align with global events on major issues like climate, environment, health, economies and jobs, humanitarian aid and water.
• Independent Summit Dialogues are organized by individuals.

All three types of Dialogues provide people with the opportunity to engage in the Summit in a meaningful way. The Dialogues aim to respect a healthy diversity of viewpoints, encourage shared exploration and reveal promising ways of working together.
