On the heels of the pandemic, our collective attention is now focused on the skyrocketing food prices and the conflict in Ukraine. While emergency measures are necessary to address short-term consequences, these current crises further cement the need for long-term investments in resilient food systems, to combat and avoid such crises in the future. During this high-level moderated panel, the GDPRD’s white paper on “Transforming Food Systems- Directions for Enhancing the Catalytic Role of Donors” will be presented.
