This guide aims to improve direction and practice in the transformation of agri-food sectors. In it, our experts share critical choices that can be made when transforming food systems, and reflect on knowledge co-creation in sector programmes, so that the process inspires future strategy and practice, and contributes to planetary health.
Sectors can be used as a practical entry point for fostering transformation in food systems; critically reviewing and analysing frameworks and practices, this book shows how it can be done.
Previous strategies and practices in sector programmes targeted only food security and nutrition outcomes. The new perspectives on sector transformation that we describe in this publication offer insights and solutions to a wider range of issues. They aim not only for inclusive food systems but also for planetary health, so that food security and nutrition is embedded in many other positive outcomes.
This publication is for people who work in agri-food sectors and for people who approach the sector from a more inclusive and planetary health perspective.
The guide offers practical concepts, tools and models to address the complexity of sector change—from production to governance. It emphasises multi-disciplinary collaboration, combining technical, social and facilitation expertise. The approach helps create resilient, equitable and sustainable agri-food systems that benefit both people and planet.
