Feeding the cities: Working together on common sustainable food system with the Southwest states

Co-creating inclusive, healthy, and sustainable food system integration in the Southwest region can help to develop sustainable and resilient food systems in urbanizing places like Lagos, where the population is expected to increase to 30 million by 2030. 
This will serve as the foundation for developing regional resilience priorities through inclusive conversation, building on already-existing and proposed development initiatives.
