Transforming our urban food systems has emerged as one of the most comprehensive strategies to tackle the many challenges faced by cities. At the Food Session of ICLEI’s World Congress in Brazil, panelists from São Paulo to Chefchaoen to Barcelona shared concrete examples of their efforts toward sustaining healthy people, healthy landscapes, and a healthy planet.
