 PRI)\, who will speak on Reshaping the global food system for a sustainabl
 e future.\n\nThe triple burden of malnutrition¡ªthe coexistence of hunger\,
  undernutrition\, and overweight and obesity globally causes enormous loss
  in human lives and economic opportunities. In the meantime\, the global f
 ood system is increasingly vulnerable due to several pressures\, including
  population growth\, rising urbanization\, land and water constraints\, cl
 imate change\, and persistent conflicts. . A reshaping of the global food 
 system is needed to ensure that Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, suc
