🔹G20 has been critical for raising food security on the global agenda & creating initiatives—but they are only as strong as their financing.

Following #G20SouthAfrica, we are also hosting a Munich Strategy Retreat to zoom in on the Summit results, and debate multilateralism.

💡 The Food Security Task Force is a special format that goes beyond stand-alone conversations. Our members meet repeatedly to achieve real progress in their discussions. In Pretoria, they conducted deeper analysis amid recent global developments.
