The Hub’s goal is to coordinate global campaigning and advocacy to achieve food systems
transformation, and it does so by facilitating multiple projects, including:
- The Food Crisis Advocacy and Campaigning Network: bringing together civil society to campaign for
policy change and urgent response, together with the #HungryforAction campaign.
- The Chefs’ Manifesto: a network of 1500+ chefs from over 93 countries to educate and empower
food systems champions, driving progress to achieve the 2030 Agenda.
- Good Food For All: a campaign to drive Public Engagement via an engaging social media campaign
supporting Good Food For All.
- Beans is How: a campaign to double the global consumption of beans (as well as peas, pulses, lentils,
and legumes) by 2028.
