Maseru, Jul.13 — The United Nations (UN) through its Deputy Secretary-General Ms. Amid Mohammed says strengthening food systems is an issue for all countries and regions, regardless of income.
In her message during the opening segment of the high-level political forum side event titled “Investment in the Future: School Meals for Sustainable Development”, which was held in New York this week, she pointed out that food systems transformation is a powerful entry point to put development back on track.
She emphasised that School meals can help drive the food systems transformation needed, by creating jobs and predictable markets for local and smallholder farmers. She added that when combined with local efforts to produce food sustainably and organically, they can also help meet key environmental goals. . .
