Food systems

Our food systems have become unsustainable and struggle to provide the growing global population with affordable, healthy foods. We examine topics such as the governance of and finance for food systems, the effects of EU policies on food systems in Africa – including the Farm to Fork Strategy – and the sustainability of local food systems in East and West Africa.

The global roadmap for achieving SDG 2 within the 1.5 °C limit: Tools and opportunities for implementation

The global roadmap for achieving SDG 2 (‘zero hunger’) without breaching the 1.5°C global warming threshold, a FAO initiative, aims to guide agrifood system transformation strategies that ensure food security and good nutrition, while contributing to climate action. Francesco Rampa, Fabien Tondel and Koen Dekeyser clarify some of the concepts underpinning the roadmap and aim to support its design and roll-out by exploring methodologies and policy processes that can shape implementation.
