Synopsis (short abstract) This report provides a detailed account of the training workshop on "Policymaking for Agrifood Systems Transformation" in Rwanda. Tailored to Rwanda's unique needs, theworkshop brought together government officials, stakeholders, and experts to enhance their understanding of agrifood systems and explore strategies for transforming thesesystems to be more resilient and sustainable. The publication outlines the workshop's focus on Rwanda’s agrifood challenges – such as malnutrition, climate change, lowproduction, and market access – while emphasizing the importance of adopting a systems approach to policy design.It directly contributes to FAO’s mission by equipping stakeholders with the skills and knowledge necessary to address complex, "wicked" problems in agrifood systems – problems that span multiple sectors and require coordinated action from various actors. Through this, the report supports FAO’s goal of achieving better production, betternutrition, a better environment, and a better life.The report is designed for policymakers, government officials, academics, and stakeholders working within agrifood systems, both in Rwanda and beyond. Its added value liesin its practical guidance on using systems thinking to create innovative, evidence-based policies that respond to the interconnected challenges of modern agrifood systems.Furthermore, the publication highlights Rwanda’s experiences in policy experimentation and stakeholder engagement, offering valuable lessons for other countries seeking totransform their agrifood systems.
