Session Overview

Accelerating the shift toward healthy diets within sustainable food systems requires coherent public policy, clearly defined stakeholder roles, and effective cross-sector collaboration. This session will explore how government-led policy mechanisms can reduce investment risk and create the conditions needed for transformation. Drawing on real-world examples from different geographies, the dialogue will highlight how public policy leadership, supported by responsible private sector engagement, can unlock investment, foster innovation, and accelerate implementation. It will also examine practical approaches that support national food systems strategies and build trust across stakeholders. By surfacing actionable insights and best practices, the session will contribute to the UNFSS+4 priority of unlocking finance and increasing investment in food system transformation.
