Today’s system of global food production is unsustainable: current practices cannot be scaled up to feed a growing population and accommodate changes in consumer preferences without causing further grave damage to the environment. Throughout the food system, smart policies are needed to foster sustainable practices that preserve biodiversity and that help societies to mitigate climate change and adapt to its environmental and other impacts. The overarching objective is to transform food systems to ensure that they provide access to safe, sufficient, affordable and nutritious foods and promote the enjoyment of a diversified, balanced and healthy diet for all, while protecting the planet and safeguarding its resources for future generations.
