Resilient, sustainable, and equitable food systems are key to the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals. Yet, current governance mechanisms tend to perpetuate rather than rectify structural inequalities in global food production, distribution, and consumption. The international community is failing to deliver on its commitment to end hunger and malnutrition by 2030, as climate change, conflict, and the COVID-19 pandemic are putting additional pressures on already fragile food systems. In a context of urgent financing needs, what are the prospects for transforming global food governance over the next decade?
