A strong Research and Innovation agenda will be foundational for the co-creation of impactful Food System Transformation (FST) pathways. There are several national, regional and global strategies within which FST will occur, critical domains to enable FST have been identified, and a stakeholder-driven process from the formation of goals to the final assessment of FST pathways
and their trade-offs will be needed. The role of research organisation networks to support innovation for FST is multiple. This webinar will analyse where the focus of research organisation networks and of network of networks should be to support and promote innovation for FST.
