My Department led Ireland's preparation for the UN Food Systems Summit in 2021 and on post-summit work with the UN Food Systems Co-Ordination Hub. The UN Food Systems Stocktaking moment (UNFSS +2) is the first global follow-up to the UNFSS to assess progress towards the implementation of national food systems transformation pathways.

Ireland's delegation to UNFSS+2 will be led by my Department's Secretary-General, and the delegation will include officials from my Department and the Department of Foreign Affairs, as well as a representative from the Civil Society Mechanism.
