Food Systems Solutions Webinar 2026 | Farmer cooperatives as catalysts for food systems transformation

21 May 2026 | 14:00 – 15:30 (CEST) | Virtual

Farmer cooperatives play a critical role in strengthening inclusive, resilient, and sustainable food systems. By organizing smallholder producers, cooperatives enhance access to markets, finance, technology, and knowledge while increasing farmers’ bargaining power and income security. In the context of the global food systems agenda, cooperatives are key actors in advancing equitable livelihoods, sustainable production, and local value chain development. This webinar will explore how farmer cooperatives contribute to food systems transformation across diverse contexts and identify policy and investment pathways to strengthen cooperative-led food systems solutions.
