Future Food Systems: For people, our planet, and prosperity - Global Panel on Agriculture and Food Systems for Nutrition. September 2020

After having depicted the reasons why food systems must undergo a process of transition to deliver sustainable and healthy diet (malnutrition, human health, natural resource degradation, and climate change), the report makes concrete recommendations on the practical steps which need to be taken in a process of transition to make fundamental changes to food systems possible:
- Make sufficient nutrient-rich and staple foods available to all, produced sustainably;
- Ensure foods move along value chains more efficiently, improving accessibility and resulting in lower cost and less loss;
- Ensure sustainable, healthy diets are affordable to all, with lower demand for ultra-processed products; and
- Empower consumers to make more informed food choices, fueling rising demand for sustainable, healthy diets.
