Summary
This UN report documents the findings of the 2023 Food Systems Stocktaking Moment, a formal review of progress since the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit. It synthesises national and coalition-level commitments, highlights persistent gaps in food security, sustainability, and equity, and sets out recommendations for accelerating food systems transformation ahead of 2030 Agenda targets. The report draws on submissions from governments, civil society, and the private sector rather than primary empirical research.
UK applicability
As a UN global policy document, its direct applicability to UK conditions is limited; however, the UK as a member state is implicated in its commitments and the report's frameworks on sustainable food systems, nutrition, and climate resilience are relevant to UK national food strategy development and international development policy.
Key measures
National food systems pathways submitted; stakeholder commitments tracked; progress indicators against Summit goals; coverage of food security, nutrition, sustainability, and equity dimensions
Outcomes reported
The report assessed progress made by member states and stakeholders in transforming food systems following the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit, identifying gaps, commitments, and areas requiring accelerated action.
