COVID-19 Vital Supply Chains: Food System Security

WBCSD is convening this collective action platform for business to provide knowledge, tools, guidance and to address priority risks exacerbated by COVID-19 and ensure that learnings from the crisis help to minimise disruptions and system vulnerabilities in the future.​ ​The project aims to support companies to navigate immediate challenges with the goal of long- term system resilience and global food system security going forward. ​

​The main objectives are to:​

​

2. 
   Support business to respond rapidly and sustainably to priority food supply chain challenges and to ensure continued global food security by sharing knowledge to mitigate risks collectively


3. ​Enhance food system recovery pathways through a strategic assessment to mitigate risks and weaknesses in a post-COVID-19 world
