    This fact sheet describes the course, part of a series of three e-learning courses on sustainable food systems (SFS), designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools required to apply systems thinking to complex food systems challenges in an integrated manner. The course series highlights how systems thinking, and taking a sustainable food systems approach, can help to significantly improve our work in project and policy design for sustainable food systems development and transformation. This second course in the series explores key concepts for sustainable food systems in more detail, and presents an analytical framework to describe and analyse the complexity and various elements that constitute food systems.

    The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has played a key role in the Post 2015 Development Agenda process leading to the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. FAO has also been an active contributor to the Inter-agency and Expert Group on Sustainable Development Goal indicators (IAEG-SDG), which developed a Global Indicator Framework recently adopted by the UN Statistical Commission and ECOSOC. Monitoring the 230 indicators in this Framework, covering the 17 SDGs and their 169 Targets presents an immense challenge for member countries with regards to their current data availability, statistical capacity and resource availability.

    CFS 2019/46/Inf.17 - Agroecological and other innovative approaches for sustainable agriculture and food systems that enhance food security and nutrition. A report by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition

    Also available in:

    Food systems and agriculture are at a crossroads and a profound transformation is needed at all scales, not only to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG2) to “end hunger and all forms of malnutrition” by 2030 but also to address Agenda 2030 in its entirety, including human and environmental health, climate change, equity and social stability. Current trends, such as the new increase, since 2014, in the number of undernourished people and the alarming rate of all forms of malnutrition in all countries, and related tensions will be exacerbated if we fail to design and implement, in a very near future, food systems that ensure food security and nutrition while addressing all sustainability challenges. Agroecological and other innovative approaches in agriculture are increasingly praised for their potential contribution to reach these crucial goals. This report adopts a dynamic perspective, centred on the key concepts of transition and transformation. Ultimately, this rich and comprehensive report aims to fuel an exciting policy convergence process and help remove the lock-ins by developing a common understanding of these matters, so that concrete transition pathways can be implemented at all relevant scales, from farm, community and landscape to national, regional and global levels.
