On June 23, 2021, a delegation from the Canadian Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (UIPU) comprising Senator Rob Black, Senator Brent Cotter, Senator Victor Oh, Mr. Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, MP, and Mr. Yves Perron, MP attended the High-level parliamentary meeting: Transforming food systems for health, equity and sustainability. They were joined by over one hundred other parliamentarians, officials from various United Nations agencies and representatives from civil society. The virtual event was organized by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in connection with the United Nations’ Food Systems Summit taking place in September 2021. The programme focussed on two matters related to food systems: their connection with climate change and sustainability, as well as their link with malnutrition and health. Participants heard about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global, national and local food systems and the importance of commitments on all levels and by all stakeholders, including parliamentarians, to address inequalities. During the discussion, Mr. Erskine-Smith queried the potential benefits of prioritizing plant-based food systems in overcoming current challenges and pressures on sustainability and health.
