Wilton Park Event - Jennifer Clapp, Professor at University the Waterloo
In June 2025, we launched 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 Jennifer Clapp, Professor in School of Environment Resources and Sustainability at University the Waterloo, where she reflects on the importance of power in food systems and key takeaways from the event.
