Systemic Solutions for Healthy Food Systems is a guide for governments to take action for better food systems that promote human, ecological, and animal health and well-being. The Guide provides 14 recommendations to tackle the interconnectedness of food systems through policy and practice.
Governments can show real leadership through integrated and inclusive approaches to food policies. The recommendations suggest they commit to stricter governance, to health-promoting fiscal measures, and to greater focus on research and innovation.
