Fostering Unconventional Collaborations

Sharon Cittone, a “pragmatic dreamer,” advocates for a systemic and inclusive approach to address climate challenges. Horizontal connections among global and local stakeholders with complementary, not competing, skills and expertise are often missing in food systems work. Calling on innovators to follow a collaborative ecosystem approach, find synergies, and empower unheard voices when committing to real action, Cittone highlights that everyone interested in change has the same goal and shared responsibility to create a more resilient and regenerative world.
