When and where 23 Feb 2021 at 09-11am CET and 03-05pm CET Online (Zoom) About Transforming food systems requires empowering millions of young entrepreneurs to use their creativity, energy and dedication to develop new business models that deliver better access to food, nutrition, equitable livelihoods, environmental sustainability and resilience. Improving young agri and food entrepreneurs’ access to finance, complemented by knowhow and technology, is critical for that. The Food System Summit offers a strategic opportunity to advance concrete, game-changing actions that empower young entrepreneurs to transform the sector. In many parts of the world, small and medium enterprises – or SMEs – represent the backbone of food systems, operating all along food value chains or providing services, information, and technology solutions to value chain actors.
