The World Economic Forum’s Board of Stewards for Food Systems Initiative provides championship in the business, policy and social sectors to strengthen food systems, linking global-level insight and collaboration to country-led action. The group holds a shared vision to work towards inclusive, efficient, sustainable, nutritious and healthy food systems through multistakeholder and market-led approaches in line with the 2030 sustainable development agenda.
The Stewardship Board on Shaping the Future of Food is a principal-level group, comprising around 40 leaders from the public and private sectors, who provide strategic leadership on food and agriculture. The role of the Stewardship Board is to guide the work of the System Initiative on Shaping the Future of Food, take stock of the state of public-private cooperation on food systems and explore collectively how cooperation could be strengthened. The CEOs, government ministers, heads of international organizations, top civil society and academic experts who participate on these Boards are encouraged to assume a sense of collective stewardship and engage in dialogue to help the international community set priorities and align efforts across relevant initiatives and institutions.
