    Food Coalition - A global alliance to prevent a health crisis from becoming a food crisis 2021
    COVID-19 has reached every part of the world with long-term impact on food systems, food security and nutrition. The crisis has affected food production, health of farmers, access to agricultural inputs, access to markets, rural jobs and livelihoods, and has led to a decrease in both rural and urban demand of food due to loss of jobs and incomes. The crisis has demonstrated the urgency and the need for coordinated collective action at the global level to prevent the global health crisis from becoming a food crisis. The Food Coalition is a multi-stakeholder global alliance, a network of networks which facilitates unified global action in response to and recovery from COVID-19. The Coalition aims to mobilize financial resources, innovation and technical expertise, promote advocacy initiatives and establish a neutral space for dialogue among a diverse body of key stakeholders in support of countries most in need. The Food Coalition also represents a strong commitment to the 2030 Agenda. The Coalition will support efforts to help countries get back on track to meet SDG1 and SDG2 (end poverty and hunger), and in particular, work to transform agri-food systems, improve nutrition, increase agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale and family farmers, raise standards of living in rural areas, and address disruptions caused by the pandemic and its impact on vulnerable groups, especially women, youth, and indigenous peoples.
