Learnings from Country-Level Pathways to the Global Food Policy Debate
Channel: SDSN
Date: 2021-07-06

This was an official side event at the UN Food Systems Summit Science Days hosted by FABLE (of SDSN & FOLU), FSEC, and UNECA.

Current food and land-use practices and consumer behavior lead most countries towards unsustainable food systems with large environmental, equity, and health costs. Studies have shown meeting the SDGs and the Paris Agreement objectives is possible with decisive government action. Long-term integrated approaches linking agriculture, biodiversity, and climate can be crucial to ensure short-term policymaking supports long-term food system transformation goals. How can scientists support policymakers in adopting a longer-term approach? In this session, we present country examples where scientists bridge the science-policy gap, increase the level of ambition, and build a shared vision of how to transform food systems.
