Read source ↗ All evidence

Summary

Published by FAO in 2025, this report sets out a systems-based framework for transforming food and agriculture, drawing on evidence from multiple sectors and geographies. It likely addresses the interconnections between farming practices, food supply chains, environmental sustainability, and human nutrition, arguing that siloed approaches are insufficient for achieving systemic change. The report probably provides guidance for policymakers, practitioners, and multi-stakeholder platforms seeking to redesign food systems holistically.

UK applicability

Although global in scope, the frameworks and principles outlined are likely applicable to UK food and farming policy, particularly in the context of post-Brexit agricultural transition, the Environmental Land Management schemes, and UK commitments to food system transformation under national food strategies.

Key measures

Likely includes qualitative and quantitative indicators of food system sustainability, governance effectiveness, stakeholder engagement metrics, and alignment with international frameworks such as the SDGs and the UN Food Systems Summit commitments

Outcomes reported

The report likely examines how adopting integrated, multi-actor systems thinking can drive transformation across food and agriculture sectors, assessing governance frameworks, sustainability outcomes, and policy levers at multiple scales.
