Food Systems provide a direct pathway to Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) achievement in particular in regard to food insecurity and poverty. Therefore, transforming Food Systems – making them more productive, competitive and resilient is key. At the same time, Food Systems resilience is threatened by conflicts, climate change, inflation (rising food, fertilizer, fuel prices) and also pandemics e.g. Covid 19. More crucially we are now in a “VUCA” world characterized by Volatility as reflected in the speed and turbulence of change, Uncertainty which means that outcomes, even from familiar actions are less predictable, Complexity due to the growing vastness of interdependencies in globally connected economies and societies and Ambiguity as conveyed in the multitude of options and potential outcomes from the many forces buffeting the world.
