The Ateneo de Manila University and the Xavier University and the Sustainable Development Solutions Network are hosting an Independent Dialogue: Pathways to Sustainable Food and Nutrition, Consumption and Livelihoods. The event will stimulate critical thinking as well as brainstorming with others in academe and civil society and even the private sector to understand issues and search for solutions with the realization that if we are to reach the targets of  the Sustainable Development Goals by the end of this decade we have to start now and in many fronts.
