The first global conference of the Sustainable Food Systems (SFS) Programme will be held from 21 to 23 June 2017 in Pretoria, South Africa. SFS is one of six thematic programmes of the 10-Year Framework of
Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production patterns (10YFP). The 10YFP is a global framework of action that aims to promote national, regional and international cooperation that accelerates the shift towards sustainable consumption and production (SCP) in developed and developing countries. The conference will explore innovative multi- stakeholder approaches to tackle food systems challenges in general, and discuss the need of ensuring sustainable food systems in the face of a changing climate and growing urbanization in the African context more specifically.
