This event launches the PAS COACT for the Convergence and Coherence of Public Policies for Climate Action and Food Systems Transformation, established at the request of the COP30 Presidency by Brazil’s Ministry of Social Development (MDS) and hosted by the Sustainable Food Systems (SFS) Programme of the One Planet Network (10YFP), with the support of local and international organizations, including the UN Food Systems Coordination Hub, FAO, the Global Alliance for the Future of Food, GAIN, I-CAN, Switzerland’s Federal Office for Agriculture (FOAG) in its capacity as Co-Lead of the SFS Programme, UN Nutrition, WHO, WWF, Yemen’s Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation, Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN), Tilt Collective, the National Council for Food and Nutritional Security (Consea), the Josué de Castro Chair on Healthy and Sustainable Food Systems, the Comida do Amanhã Institute, and the Regenera Institute.

The program also highlights the work of PAS TERRA - Together for the Expansion of Resilient and Restorative Agroecology and Agroforestry, represented by Minister Fernanda Machiaveli, Brazil’s Ministry of Agrarian Development and Family Farming (MDA). TERRA was also founded as part of the COP 30 Presidency's Action Agenda by MDA and its international partners FFF (a partnership of FAO, IUCN, Agricord and IIED), NOW Partners Foundation, IFAD, Agroecology Coalition, Alliance Bioversity-CIAT (CGIAR).

TERRA’s 5 Levers of Acceleration support in collaboration with local and international partners towards a new mainstream of food systems:
1) Strengthen producer organizations and other stakeholders,
2) innovate knowledge development and capacity building;
3) make blended finance available and accessible;
4) improve seeds, bioinputs, mechanization and technology;
5) increase value addition and market access.

The evening will be opened by a third event host, NOW Partners Foundation (NOW). Its chair Walter Link will introduce the event and introduce its keynote speaker, COP30 President Ambassador Corrêa do Lago who will address the integration of the COP multilateral negotiations process with concrete action that changes realities on the ground. NOW will also introduce one of TERRA’s core initiatives, the Global Academy for Agroecology and Productive Forests (GA) that offers capacity building for TERRA’s 5 levers.

GA was co-founded by NOW with some of the world’s largest and most successful agroecological innovators. In Africa, Asia and Latin America, its over 2 million farmers already outperform conventional agriculture by integrating the regeneration of nature and society with better financial results for family farmers and rural economies. NOW will also address how to scale these and other initiatives with blended finance solutions it develops with farmer organizations, public and private grant funders, and international investors.
