Food market systems are increasingly impacted by several interdependent global trends, including population growth, urbanization, ecological uncertainty, technology change, and shifts in dietary preferences. These emerging trends are dramatically affecting both supply and demand for food, including smallholder integration in local and global value chains.
It is crucial that policy makers, development agencies, private sector agribusinesses, and implementing partners recognize the common goal of improving the food and nutrition security of individuals in rural and urban settings across the globe. To advance this shared objective, SEEP embraces the importance of improving food market system competitiveness, inclusiveness, resilience, and nutrition sensitivity.
This track will explore practical examples of solutions and challenges related to transforming food market systems along these critical thematic areas. We will focus on collaborative approaches that are reshaping rules and incentives, shifting behaviors, and promoting shared standards and principles across market and food systems.
