This case compilation presents interesting perspectives, dilemmas, and good practices from several actors working across the intersections of sustainable, resilient, just food systems and responsible business conduct (RBC) in different contexts across Sub-Saharan Africa (including Zimbabwe, Zambia, Uganda, Kenya, and broader investment cases in East Africa).

The compilation presents coherent strategies for addressing structural drivers and barriers for system change. It emphasizes how duty-bearers should advance human rights and environmental due diligence and safeguards for most-at-risk groups, how policies can stimulate sustainable consumption patterns if informed by local civil society and should align with the above frameworks and regulation, how access to finance and technology can decrease food loss and waste, and how sustainable business models can be advanced through agroecology-focused investments which should also ensure integration of long- and short-term food security.
