Abstract

Agri-food systems are defined as “encompassing the entire range of actors and their interlinked value-adding activities involved in the production, aggregation, processing, distribution, consumption, utilization and disposal of food products that originate from agriculture, forestry or fisheries, and parts of the broader economic, societal and natural environments in which they are embedded” (FAO 2018). For over ten decades, these food systems have been able to feed increasing populations and reduce chronic malnutrition and poverty. However, the current agri-food systems are under constant pressure of hunger, undernutrition, obesity epidemic, loss of biodiversity, environmental damage and climate change, threatening its sustainability. The transformation of the food systems through a sustainable trajectory is likely to achieve the following outcomes and provide economic benefits equivalent to USD 5 trillion annually (Ruggeri et al., 2024).
