Agrifood needs strategic collaboration to tackle complex challenges

The agrifood transition is one of the defining global challenges of our time. Businesses, policymakers and farmers are working to balance sustainability with competitiveness, ensuring land productivity while also adapting to and mitigating climate change.

At the same time, the sector faces the dual reality of being heavily impacted by climate change while also contributing significantly to greenhouse gas emissions.

Feeding a growing global population and ensuring food security will increasingly depend on scaling innovative solutions, securing funding and addressing interconnected issues such as diet-related diseases.

Because of the sector’s complexity, partnerships can play an important role in supporting this transition. Bringing together actors from across the value chain, from farmers and producers to retailers, policymakers and businesses, can help foster smarter policies that take real-world impact into account.

This report explores how such collaboration can shape the future of agrifood.
