A food system that fights climate change — instead of causing it

Here's a wild stat: nearly one-third of the world's food production goes to waste each year, a major contributor to the climate crisis. Farmer and UN climate champion Gonzalo Muñoz sheds light on the international negotiations aimed at turning the food system into a climate solution, rather than part of the problem — and shows the progress already underway.

UN's High Level Climate Action Champion, COP25

The global food system wastes nearly one-third of all food produced, fueling both hunger and the climate crisis. Yet a new wave of international cooperation, including an unprecedented 159-nation agreement, is beginning to transform agriculture into a climate ally. By respecting each country’s unique needs and rallying both governments and private groups, these efforts are pushing for resilient, sustainable food production. The goal is a system that nourishes everyone while restoring the planet.
