COVID-19 Vital Supply Chains: Food System Security

WBCSD is convening this collective action platform for business to provide knowledge, tools, guidance and to address priority risks exacerbated by COVID-19 and ensure that learnings from the crisis help to minimise disruptions and system vulnerabilities in the future.​ ​The project aims to support companies to navigate immediate challenges with the goal of long- term system resilience and global food system security going forward. ​

​The main objectives are to:​

​

1. Advocate for improved collective action, through the voice of business, for more sustainable responses during the COVID-19 crisis that lead to resilient and sustainable food systems​
2. Support business to respond rapidly and sustainably to priority food supply chain challenges and to ensure continued global food security by sharing knowledge to mitigate risks collectively
3. ​Enhance food system recovery pathways through a strategic assessment to mitigate risks and weaknesses in a post-COVID-19 world 

WBCSD is collaborating with the World Economic Forum's Food System Initiative and Consumer Industry Action Group, to ensure the relevant cross-platform linkages across efforts.
