In many instances, what is lacking is not more evidence but more actionable knowledge that may contribute to systemic changes, which requires supporting local innovations and encouraging and facilitating co-creation / co-design of knowledge. In support of that, leading research organizations from world regions could form networks or alliances to share science, access funding globally, providing quality and socially referenced teaching, and thus develop actionable knowledge supporting food systems transformations.

INRAE and UNESP are organizing an online dialogue to discuss this issue on Tuesday July 6^th from 2 pm till 3.45 pm CEST. This event will take place ahead of the Science Days of the UN Food Systems Summit 2021 and will bring speakers from Australia, Brazil, France, South Africa and the USA.
