New FAO publication: Transforming Food and Agriculture through a Systems Approach
FAO’s new flagship publication, Transforming Food and Agriculture through a Systems Approach, offers practical guidance to help policymakers and practitioners take joined-up action across agrifood systems. It presents a concrete framework built around six key elements of a systems approach—systems thinking, knowledge, governance, doing, investment and learning—showing how each contributes to sustained transformation at scale. Moving beyond fragmented efforts, the report emphasizes smarter connections between sectors, goals and stakeholders to deliver lasting impact on food security, nutrition, equity and sustainability. Drawing from 19 real-world examples, it highlights how countries and cities are already applying this approach—from sustainable food procurement in New York to systems-oriented policy-making in Rwanda—demonstrating that transformation aligned with the 2030 Agenda is both possible and within reach.
