The closing session will present key messages which emerged from the different sessions, and also discuss additional issues which are crucial for transformation, including synergies with actions to improve public health, actions which focus on demand and consumption, gender and youth dimensions, the role of subsidies, and fisheries and aquaculture opportunities.
