    Sustainable food systems through diversification and indigenous vegetables

Our food systems struggle to provide the growing global population with affordable, healthy foods. They also create livelihood stresses and damage our natural environments. Our sustainable food systems team wants to support transitions to sustainable, resilient, equitable and inclusive food systems.

Our work

Topics we look at include:

  • The effects of EU policies on food systems in Africa – including the Farm to Fork Strategy
  • Governance of and finance for food systems
  • Sustainability analysis of food systems (See the ECDPM food systems approach)
  • Climate adaptation and resilience
  • Gender imbalances in food systems

More information

The sustainable food systems workstream is part of the ‘sustainable African economies and climate action’ cluster.
