The conference aims at positioning the human right to adequate food as a lever for harnessing inclusivity in the food systems transformation agenda of Uganda so that no one is left behind in the process. As agrifood systems face unprecedented and interrelated challenges, the discussions are expected to generate further momentum and actions towards strengthening the enabling environment and accountability for the human right to adequate food in Uganda.

The event is organized by the Uganda Human Rights Commission (UHRC), Makerere University and partners, including the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
