Summary
This joint FAO and UNEP report provides a synthesised evidence base on the need for fundamental transformation of global agri-food systems, addressing their role in driving environmental degradation, climate change, and nutritional inequities. It likely draws on existing datasets, modelling, and policy analysis to identify leverage points for systemic change. The report is intended to inform international governance frameworks and national policy agendas, rather than present primary empirical research.
UK applicability
As a global policy report, its direct applicability to UK conditions is indirect; however, its frameworks for sustainable food systems transformation are relevant to UK agricultural and food policy, particularly in the context of post-Brexit land use reform, the Environmental Land Management scheme, and the UK Government's Food Strategy.
Key measures
Food system sustainability indicators; environmental impact metrics (greenhouse gas emissions, land use, biodiversity loss); food security and nutrition access measures; policy framework assessments
Outcomes reported
The report assesses the current state of agri-food systems globally, identifying drivers of unsustainability and outlining policy-relevant pathways for transformation toward more equitable, resilient, and environmentally sound food systems.
