Global Call to Action for Food Systems Reform

The Non-State Actors Call to Action for Transforming Food Systems invites diverse participants, including farmers, businesses, and civil society, to submit 'Statements of Action' to address food system transformations. In a separate climate activism event, Donald Zepeda was arrested for throwing paint at the Constitution as a protest for climate action, underscoring the urgency felt by activists. Congressman Chris Pappas has emerged as a key advocate for climate change solutions, actively supporting renewable energy investments and community rebuilding efforts in New Hampshire. In Conetoe, N.C., Pastor Richard Joyner's community farming initiative has improved local health and self-sufficiency, but recent hurricanes have threatened their crops, prompting discussions about environmental responsibility. Joyner argues that climate change is a consequence of human actions rather than divine intervention. These narratives highlight the interconnected challenges of climate change, food systems, and community resilience.
