Summary

This OECD policy report examines the structural challenges facing food and farming systems and sets out recommendations for policy reform to support more sustainable, resilient, and equitable outcomes. Drawing on analysis across OECD member countries, it likely addresses the alignment of agricultural support mechanisms with environmental and social objectives. The report is broadly aimed at informing national and international policymakers on the direction of travel required for food system transformation.

The report's recommendations on realigning subsidies and incentivising sustainable practices are directly relevant to current UK policy debates.
