A growing momentum for food systems transformation and agricultural sustainability is evident at both global and national levels. Recent global fora such as the United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) have called for promoting sustainable Urban and Peri-Urban Agriculture (UPA) in India, aiming to create an enabling environment for developing a resilient, equitable, and inclusive food system through multi-stakeholder engagement and catalyzing implementation. At the national level, India’s G20 presidency had a vested focus on prioritizing food and nutrition security amidst celebrating international year of millets and to put forth people-centric success stories around resilient and equitable food systems.
