"The ways we feed ourselves, protect our environment, and structure our societies are not separate challenges, they are deeply interconnected.
To secure a future that is equitable and sustainable, we must address development and justice as shared commitments, guided by a vision that upholds human dignity while respecting the limits of the Earth."
