Where the world comes together to cultivate the sustainable food systems that will secure a healthy and prosperous economy, society and planet.

Designed to turn one of the world’s toughest challenges into one of our greatest opportunities, the annual Food Sustainability Leadership Summit will drive action for a more equitable and secure global food system, with focus on three key elements:

ENRICHING OUR COMMUNITIES AND SOCIETY
Accelerate solutions to reduce poverty and ensure a more equitable future through enhanced food safety, accessibility, and security
CULTIVATING A HEALTHIER PLANET
Address food-systems related challenges and opportunities associated with climate change, water, energy, nature, and land use
GROWING OUR ECONOMIC PROSPERITY
Advance more sustainable food systems through investment, trade and finance, workforce, and market systems transformation

Come together with diverse leaders and champions from across the agri-food value chain to work collaboratively towards the following goals:

Showcase Canadian and international leadership in advancing action towards more sustainable and secure global food systems.
Provide a ‘whole-of-system’ platform to advance solutions from seed to fork and beyond, supporting our agri-food sectors and stimulating the Canadian and global economies.
Position Canada as a global leader in convening a world-class, purpose-driven, and outcomes-oriented agri-food summit.
