Based on analysis of documentation associated with the UN Food Systems Summit process, we identify three main ways in which the Summit failed to address the problem of corporate power in food systems in a meaningful way. First, the Summit was 'strategically silent' on the problem of corporate power, mentioning the problem only very infrequently and in a way that failed to identify corporations as holding disproportionate power in food systems. Second, it advanced technology and innovation-based solutions that benefit large agrifood companies rather than seeking structural transformation of food systems. Third, it gave corporations a priority seat at the table by engaging them in various settings in the lead up to the Summit.
基于对与联合国粮食系统峰会进程相关文件的分析，我们确定了峰会未能以有意义的方式解决粮食系统中企业权力问题的三种主要方式。首先，峰会在企业权力问题上“战略沉默”，只是极少提及该问题，而且提及方式未能将企业认定为在粮食系统中拥有不成比例的权力。其次，峰会推进了有利于大型农业食品公司的基于技术和创新的解决方案，而不是寻求粮食系统的结构性变革。第三，峰会在峰会筹备阶段通过让企业参与各种活动，给予了它们优先席位。
