About the Independent Stakeholders' Report
The Independent Stakeholders’ Report will complement the official UN Secretary-General's Stocktake Report, by highlighting the perspectives of non-state actors (NSAs), including producers, consumer organizations, private sector representatives, youth, women, Indigenous Peoples, education and research institutions, workers and trade unions and other food systems stakeholders.
Framed and drafted independently by self-organizing multi-stakeholder constituencies, the report will assess progress, challenges and investment opportunities in food systems transformation. It will also reflect on NSA accountability, by setting out key objectives for different actors of the food systems community against which they will be invited to report at regular intervals.
