Synopsis (short abstract) Food systems are intimately linked to our lives – through the food we eat, our nutrition and health, our livelihoods, jobs and to the environment and natural resources of the planet. Finding sustainable solutions to our various food systems problems depends on improved knowledge and evidence, and greater understanding of the views and insights of the diverse actors involved. This synthesis brief presents some of the initial findings on strategic food system sustainability issues that are emerging from the food systems assessments and stakeholder consultations underway in over 50 countries around the world. It includes key findings from some of the pilot countries such as Bhutan, Nepal, Senegal and Madagascar.
