We need to change the way we bring food to the table. The way we currently produce, distribute, and consume food is affecting our health, damaging the environment, and deepening social inequality crises. For this reason, transforming food systems is urgent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To address this challenge, Tecnol\u00f3gico de Monterrey organized the first International Symposium on Food Systems Transformation in Mexico<\/a>, where voices from science, policy, industry, and activism came together to chart a new path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The goal: to spark an in-depth dialogue about the structural problems of today\u2019s food system<\/strong> and to lay out guiding principles for its transformation into a more just, sustainable, and healthy model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The event brought together experts from seven national and international universities, three government secretariats, two United Nations agencies, and multiple non-governmental organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Based on their insights, a working document was constructed that will serve as the foundation for the next stage: making a joint call to the Mexican Government to advance in the elaboration of regulations for the General Law of Adequate and Sustainable Food<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Food systems encompass all the processes necessary for food to reach the consumer, from production to waste management after consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
