Summary
The United Nations put forth this resolution as a clear mission to achieve sustainable food systems that consistently provides an adequate diet to all. The resolution notes that the vision of such a food system is one that conforms to the standards of the Paris Climate Accords, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and Rome Declaration on Nutrition, among other documents. The resolution is chiefly concerned with ending hunger and malnutrition, particularly among the global poor. However, consideration is extended to nonhuman animals. The resolution calls for food systems to protect animals and their health, given the positive effects that this will render for the global food system. An emphasis is placed on the health and well-being of persons, plants, and ecosystems, along with animals raised for food. The resolution specifically calls for conformity with the goals set forth by the Animal Welfare-Environment-Sustainable Development Nexus resolution.
