We cannot retreat back into our silos, and we really must embrace an era of a better recovery. So there is no going back, I think Agnes has said that. It may also mean working with partners, new ones, but partners that quite frankly sometimes make us feel really uncomfortable. It’s also made clear that government alone cannot deliver this agenda. This Summit has made clear that there cannot be separate conversations about food, climate, health, nutrition, energy, oceans and biodiversity. If we want to build back better after COVID, then we have got to have a really good response and I think that the Food Systems Summit is showing that people can come together and have a good response for recovery to achieve the 2030 Agenda. This Summit process is a reason for hope during the era of the COVID crisis, and it has brought back a level of integrity to multilateralism. Just as food brings us together as cultures and communities, it can also bring us together around solutions. The Pre-Summit has shown me that we can deliver on the right to food, while securing the future of our planet. This Summit is awakening the world to the fact that we must work together to transform the way the world produces, it consumes and that it really thinks about food. Because it’s their future, it’s certainly not many of us who have been around for quite a long time, it’s theirs and so they need to be there co-creating the future of food. It also means working with partners in the private sector to ensure that innovations reach the most marginalized and that all jobs in the food sector offer decent livelihoods and truly a living wage to workers and their families.Īnd listening to our youth today, we must underscore the need to co-create the future of food with their leaders, with their representation, building a vision of a more dynamic and massive food future. And we have heard them: our smallholder farmers, our indigenous people, our youth, our women. It’s been a summit for everyone, it’s been a summit for everyone, everywhere – we have seen people outside of this room come on the screen, and it has been a people’s summit with solutions.Īnything we do, we know that we must include those at the center of our food systems. ![]() Yet, even as the pandemic has physically pushed us apart, this process has actually brought people together. So we have to remember that this whole process has unfolded during a pandemic, and that pandemic has stolen lives and livelihoods, and it has reversed the Sustainable Development Goals. This just shows you how it is the center of the world, and it is about Italy showing leadership beyond COP and beyond the G20, so thank you. I’d like to give a particular, I think, you know, applause, to our Minister of Foreign Affairs, Luigi di Maio, because I don’t know a Foreign Affairs Minister that stays this long in our events on food. We are still trying to knock on the head a virus that has plagued us for the last 18 months. It’s an incredible endeavour in the era of COVID-19 – we are still having to mask up, we are still looking for vaccines. I would like to thank the Italian Government and the leaders and the people of our Rome-based Agencies for all the support that they have given over the last two years, and especially in the last three days, to make this happen. This really has been an incredible three days. We are on the last day and the room is still full, so please give yourself a round of applause.
