Synopsis (short abstract) Despite their critical role in climate action, agrifood systems have not been integrated into just transition policy debates under the UNFCCC, and are rarely included in national just transition plans. But these gaps could be overcome at COP30 if Parties recognise the critical importance of resilient, inclusive agrifood systems transformation for achieving a just transition in their deliberations. This policy brief makes the case for placing agrifood systems transformation at the heart of just transition debates and policy making. It proposes an evidence-based framework for pursuing a just transition in agrifood systems that is aligned with the change pathways of the Paris Agreement 2 that can guide national policy making and offers key policy recommendations for Parties and observers at COP30.

Pathways towards a just transition in agrifood systems
Deliberative Dialogues: July–September 2025

From July to September 2025, FAO convened four online deliberative dialogue meetings on the subject of how to achieve a just transition in agrifood systems. Through the dialogues, participants developed a more clearly articulated, though still evolving, definition of what a just transition means for agrifood systems. This definition reflects the numerous complexities, actors, and challenges that are unique to agriculture and other forms of food production across different scales and regions. Insights from participants coalesced around a shared conceptualization of a just transition in agrifood systems as a transformational shift from the inequitable and unsustainable models of production, distribution and consumption that characterize today’s global agrifood systems, to ones that are ecologically grounded, rights-based, and socially inclusive - shaped by the distinctive needs, priorities, and participation of the most vulnerable actors - especially those who have been historically marginalized in the Global South.

The global community has committed to responding to climate change while ensuring decent livelihoods and healthy food for everyone, keeping within planetary boundaries. Transforming agrifood systems is essential to meeting these challenges, with climate response being an intrinsic element. The need for more resilient systems that can sustain increasing demands in a setting of tightening constraints is evident. Resilience must be generated across environmental, social and economic domains, all the while maintaining the economic viability of agrifood systems to ensure that transition occurs in a just and fair manner. Climate technologies are a key enabler to support climate action and the sustainable transition of agrifood systems.The report highlights the needs for robust technology assessments to underpin climate technology identification for agrifood systems transformation that addresses all stages of agrifood value chains. This needs to be supported by capacity-building programmes, targeted financing and fed into the ongoing climate policy process. The capacity-building strategy and efforts are to be tied to the technology assessments, and identify suitable and correct skill sets, especially for smallholders and vulnerable segments of the population.
