#ANH2026 🌱 From ambition to action: Translating national food systems roadmaps into local planning and implementation Since the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit, more than 100 countries have developed national pathways for transforming their food systems. But a key challenge remains: how do we translate these commitments into coordinated action on the ground? Join CGIAR Better Diets and Nutrition experts from Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT and country partners for an interactive #ANH2026 Learning Lab to explore the Food Systems Transformation Decision Supporting (FSDS) Process — a tested, participatory approach that has been implemented in provinces in Vietnam (Dong Thap and Son La), as well as at sub-national levels in Honduras and Ethiopia. 📅 Wednesday, June 24th | 14:30 to 16:30 BST (Europe/London) 💻 Virtual 🆓 FREE | Open to all ANH Academy registrants. Register for ANH Academy 2026: https://lnkd.in/gbUXQqzz And join the learning lab: https://lnkd.in/gNnZmYSi
