Rural Voices: Listening to small-scale producers and agri-entrepreneurs

13:30 – 14:20 CEST | 07:30 – 08:20 EDT

This Food Systems Pre-Summit session creates a space for small-scale producers and agri-entrepreneurs in poor and marginalized areas who may not otherwise be heard. This session brings their opinions to the fore, to ensure they are heard and shared with those making decisions so that they too can participate in the unfolding global dialogue around the future of farming, food distribution and value chains.

Through video and audio recordings and live participation, the event fosters an open discussion between rural people and decision makers. It will feature the voices of rural people captured through an innovative interactive radio project created to gather their views, outline their challenges and offer the solutions they believe will make food systems more sustainable and ensure nutritious food and equitable livelihoods.
