Wilton Park Event - José Luis Chicoma, Program Chair, The Future of Food at the New Institute

In June 2025, we held the Food and Power Initiative, bringing together 50 leaders from government, civil society, business, and academia at Wilton Park, UK. Our goal? To explore how we can shift power dynamics to drive real transformation in food systems. UNDP has identified structural drivers for achieving food systems sustainability and resilience, highlighting power dynamics as a critical lever of change. Better understanding power asymmetries and the ability to navigate them is essential to accelerating progress. Take a look at José Luis Chicoma, Program Chair, The Future of Food at the New Institute, where he reflects on the importance of power in food systems and key takeaways from the event.
