A sustainable global food system for our future is what the world needs for its survival. A system that is productive, inclusive of marginalised populations, environmentally sustainable while comprising healthy and nutritious diets. These are complex and systemic challenges that require collective action. Amongst the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, SDG 2 says ‘End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture’ (SDG2). This is reflective of the deep connections between sustainable agriculture, gender equality, rural poverty, healthy lifestyles, and climate change. Prof Sonal Choudhary, an active member of the Institute for Sustainable Food and interdisciplinary research centres, is currently Chair in Sustainable Management at The School for Business and Society, University of York, where she leads research on Innovations for enhancing resilience and sustainability of Food Systems. She is also a part of India’s Millet Mission. She will be in conversation with Gargi Rawat, who has led several environment and conservation awareness projects for NDTV.
