BSR Insight | Transforming the Global Food System
SustainAbility’s “Appetite for Change” explores the transformation needed for a sustainable global food system that is "reliable, resilient, and transparent; produces food within ecological limits; empowers food producers; and ensures accessible, nutritious food for all." While a variety of stakeholders is required for large-scale, systemic change, the report calls on the private sector to become more engaged in the debate and embrace new market opportunities to make this transformation possible.
Key findings include:
- Understanding how we value food (to account for social and environmental externalities) is critical to creating a sustainable food system.
- Companies should contribute to policy debates to reduce business risks and maintain a predictable operating environment.
- Leadership requires redefining a vision that includes new perceptions of productivity, more inclusive agriculture, information technology to share knowledge, and a better understanding of societal needs.
