Building Better Food Systems Together

Sign up to The Midstream, the new newsletter from the World Food Programme’s Food Systems Strategy, Policy and Support Service, to become part of the rapidly growing community that is working to use food assistance to build stronger, more sustainable food systems. 

Enhancing food system performance is one of WFP’s primary aims. Flawed or broken food systems fuel hunger, limit livelihoods and often create a need for WFP food assistance. Food assistance has the potential to have sustainable and lasting impacts on those food systems, transforming the lives and livelihoods of some of the poorest people on the planet.

The Midstream will update you on these efforts, share interesting findings, and feature work underway around the world. The inaugural issue introduces our new global report, World Food Assistance 2017: Taking Stock and Looking Ahead.

I will be speaking at a launch for the World Food Assistance 2017: Taking Stock and Looking Ahead report at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in Washington DC 19 September 2017 at 12:15pm (EDT). Speakers from the USAID Office of Food for Peace and CARE USA will also be taking part. Click here to learn how to attend online or in person.
