    As part of the global Food Systems Summit process, countries and stakeholders across the Mediterranean convened several Summit Dialogues, which allowed to reflect on the Summit’s objectives, explore the challenges faced in Mediterranean food systems, and exchange about strategic pathways to enable a sustainable transition. Building on this momentum, an analytical review of the outcomes of part of these dialogues was performed, in order to take stock of common challenges, priorities, and opportunities, and to provide support to countries and stakeholders across the Mediterranean region in further developing and implementing pathways towards sustainable food systems. The stocktake presents a set of thematic areas common to most countries in the region (“what to transform”), as well as a number of potential means of implementation (“how to transform”) that were found to be instrumental to generate transformative change, and have the potential to drive regional collaboration for accelerating the shift towards more sustainable food systems. To keep the momentum created by the Summit and the related national processes, possible next steps are proposed to leverage the transformative power of food systems, including the finalization and implementation of national pathways, the promotion of inclusive governance structures, and the development of cross-national and regional collaborations. In this setting, FAO, CIHEAM and UfM launched an initiative to engage with countries and stakeholders in the Mediterranean, providing a forum for dialogue and multi-stakeholder exchange, dedicated support for the co-creation of flagship projects and investment proposals, opportunities for regional cooperation on data sharing, science diplomacy and innovation.

    Pathways for the future of Sustainable Food Systems in the Mediterranean.
    Independent Food Systems Summit Dialogues convened by FAO, CIHEAM, UfMS, One Planet Network’s Sustainable Food Systems Programme and PRIMA Foundation
    2021
    Also available in:
    This note illustrates the concept behind the two Independent Food Systems Summit Dialogues co-organized by FAO, CIHEAM, UfMS, One Planet Network SFS Programme and PRIMA Foundation that will take place on 27 April and 3 June 2021. In line with the Summit's vision, principles and Action Tracks, these two events aim at highlighting collaborative and science-based pathways leading to the transformation of food systems in the Mediterranean towards the achievement of the SDGs. These dialogues foresee the active involvement and engagement of a wide diversity of stakeholders, coming together to jointly identify concrete and cross-cutting solutions to face Mediterranean-specific challenges by means of a Sustainable Food Systems silos-breaking approach. The two Dialogues are co-organized within the framework of the FAO/CIHEAM/UfMS MoU, the FAO/PRIMA MoU, and project GCP/INT/748/ITA. They will contribute to promoting food systems transformation in the Mediterranean, in line with the "4 Betters" of the new strategic framework of FAO. These dialogues are bringing together key partners in the Mediterranean region and are foreseen to set the stage for the inception of a multi-stakeholder initiative for SFS in the Mediterranean co-led by FAO, CIHEAM and UfM.
