Call for Roundtable

India’s food system is massive. It’s a complex network feeding 1.4 billion people, and it is at a critical inflection point. As a country, we have mastered production volume, but now we face ‘the invisible costs’ of fiscal burdens, groundwater depletion, soil degradation, and much more.  

We are seeking experts, senior practitioners, policy leaders, and social scientists to convene a roundtable for diverse group of stakeholders to move past fragmented fixes and toward integrated, system-wide solutions. 

Why a Roundtable?  

Roundtable Discussions facilitate high-stakes conversations required to transform our food systems. By moving away from static, sequential slide presentations, these discussions prioritise informed, multi-directional dialogue.  

Our Goal? The goal is not just to share data, but to spark a lively debate where stakeholders can: 

• 1. Tackle Problems 
• 2. Discover Synergies 
• 3. Review Systemic Developments 
• 4. Propose Radical Solutions 
  
  

Every conversation will be documented and developed into knowledge products and published reports.
