The Alliance for Local Food Supply Chains will seek to address a combination of priority areas that have emerged from national dialogues and game changing solutions contributed by a variety of stakeholders, including member states, with the objective of transforming local food systems to withstand disruption and shocks in the short term and support resilient and inclusive economies and societies in the long term. The Alliance supports the achievement of universal food access, nutritious food availability and human capital development within transformed food systems in ALL countries.

The priority areas include: Strengthening Local and Regional Food Supply Chains, Local Production for Local Consumption, Public Procurement - local level for demand-driven and well-functioning community agri-food markets, including vibrant commercial/private sector trading, Increasing Women’s Agency for Resilience through Economic Empowerment, Securing Equitable Access to Land and Resources, Investment in Infrastructure, including for Post-Harvest Losses, Food Storage Facilities/Grain Stores and Public-Private Actions for Buffer Stocks and Strategic Reserves, Policy and Institutional Innovations for Rural Areas (including digitalisation), and Pandemic Resilient Food Systems.
