2020 has been a challenging year for everyone – including farmers and others involved in the agri-food chain around the world. Not only has the Covid-19 pandemic affected the health of millions, it has also put huge pressure on food systems and exposed fragilities within them, exacerbating food insecurity in many places – especially those already facing challenges from climate change or conflict.
 
But in 2021, we can look ahead to a crucial period for food and agriculture. With major global events such as the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit and the postponed COP26 set to take place, the coming year will help shape the future of food systems to create a more resilient planet for everyone.
