Summary

This Foresight 2.0 report synthesises evidence on interconnections between agricultural productivity, human health, and environmental sustainability, presenting scenario analyses and policy recommendations intended to guide transformation of global food systems. Rather than reporting novel primary empirical findings, the work functions as strategic intelligence for policymakers, integrating multidisciplinary expertise to address simultaneous achievement of nutritional security, climate mitigation, and inclusive economic growth.

UK applicability

As a globally-focused foresight document, its scenario frameworks and policy recommendations are likely relevant to UK food systems strategy and net-zero commitments, though direct UK-specific evidence or policy application would require complementary country-level analysis.
