UNFSS Faces of Food Systems Campaign

"The first of its kind, the United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) brought together millions of people from all around the world ready to take action to transform our food systems.

With the UN Food Systems Secretariat transitioning to the UN Food Systems Coordination Hub, the Faces of Food Systems Campaign will take stock of the stories already told, celebrate our successes, and look ahead to the future as we continue towards food systems transformation.

This exciting campaign will kick-off ahead of the Food, Agriculture & Livelihoods week of EXPO 2020 and conclude on March 2nd. By using the assets in this toolkit as well as sharing your own content, you can help us shine light on all the important faces of our food systems, working each day for a more sustainable, equitable, and healthy food system for all."
