This webinar will present key insights from the latest report of the High-Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition (HLPE-FSN), which introduces Equitably Transformative Resilience (ETR) as a novel approach to strengthening the resilience of food systems.
Members of the report’s writing team and of the HLPE-FSN Secretariat will explain the rationale behind ETR, share examples of its application in practice, and outline recommended actions to advance its adoption. They will also consider roles of researchers and practitioners, with a focus on making evidence-to-policy processes more equitable in support of food system transformation. To enrich the debate, two invited experts will provide critical reflections, and discuss opportunities and challenges for embedding ETR into global, regional, and local FSN and food rights agendas.

About the Food Equity Series
This webinar will be part of the Food Equity series. This series engages with scholarly debates, policy and practice on equity across the food system, critically exploring different ways of experiencing equity (or the lack of it) at different scales and in relation to a variety of food challenges – hunger and famines, precarious livelihoods, unhealthy and unethical diets, and threatened territories, among other.
A guiding question for the series is: what does an equitable system look like for food, at multiple levels, and how can inequities be addressed?
