We want to organize an event during the High-Level Political Forum, outside the United Nations Headquarters, directed towards Civil Society Organizations, UN Member States, Local and Regional governments, as well as local and international grassroots, to jointly assess current trends and challenges for the implementation of the Right to the City regarding rural-urban linkages, in the context of territorial food systems for the Right to Food and Nutrition.

In order to foster participation and mutual learning, this event will provide a learning environment from those organizations, movements, and sub-national governments experiences in creating local and territorial food and nutrition policies. We will develop a participatory meeting methodology that combines interventions by expert speakers and small group discussions.
