On World Food Day, we unite farmers, researchers, activists, and communities from every continent for a 24-hour virtual journey into the heart of regenerative agriculture. This year’s summit will spotlight farmer-led solutions, indigenous knowledge, and innovative research driving food system transformation worldwide.

Through regional panels, cross-continental dialogues, and participatory research showcases, we’ll explore how soil, water, biodiversity, and community resilience can be restored, one field, one farm, and one network at a time. From climate-resilient grazing in drylands to agroforestry in temperate and tropical regions, from urban gardens to vast rangelands, the People’s Food Summit celebrates the 70% of the world’s food grown by small-scale producers, and charts a regenerative path forward for all.

Why We Host a Food Summit in Parallel to the UN Event

The United Nations Food Systems Summit has been hijacked by corporate agribusiness and pesticide interests—notably reinforced through its 2019 partnership with the World Economic Forum and the appointment of AGRA’s head, Agnes Kalibata, as UN Special Envoy. More than 550 civil society groups formally called on the UN to withdraw from this agenda—but no meaningful changes were made

In response, we created The People’s Food Summit—a truly participatory, 24-hour virtual event led by and for small-scale farmers, pastoralists, and foresters who grow 70–80% of the world’s food. Here, we uplift real-world, regenerative solutions—from agroecology and permaculture to holistic grazing and agroforestry—offered by communities, not corporations
