This panel will explore the values needed to support food systems transformations\, and discuss examples of what is working and what is not. How can we directly address greenwashing so that we can deploy meaningful solutions at all levels of the supply chain? \nA realignment of values that puts the needs of people and the health of the planet first is key to food systems transformation.
