Transforming global food systems equitably & sustainably requires the private sector

by Hugh Welsh

NEW JERSEY, USA: In the days following the UN Food Systems Summit, I have read a number or articles questioning whether there is a role for the private sector in transforming global food systems into something healthier, more sustainable and more equitable. Frankly, I don't see how food systems transformation is possible without meaningful participation of the private sector.
