Complementary pathways towards food systems transformation emerged during the discussion, particularly in the sessions on food and nutrition security research and in sustainable investments. Improving access to nutritious foods can be approached in two ways: by improving the nutritive value of staple crops like rice, and by diversifying production in order to diversify the food that consumers can afford to eat. These approaches are intended to improve market access, making it profitable for producers and other value chain actors, and affordable for consumers. Prioritizing research on productio

Stakeholders involved in investments approached the issue of sustainability in two ways. First, by focusing on production systems that provide tangible benefits to investors and end-users; and then via a more transformative approach that incentivizes broader sustainability impact within a longer timescale. These pathways generally align with short- and long-term views on food systems transformation, and can be implemented in parallel if there is coordination and collaboration among the relevant sectors. It was generally agreed that grassroots sectors should be prioritized in investments, but different entry points were identified for their inclusion. Streamlining existing mechanisms—making value chains more efficient, improving access to information, technology, and finance–- can facilitate meaningful participation. However, it is important to note that participants working at or with local communities suggested the increased involvement of grassroots sectors in identifying their needs and planning, implementing, and scaling solutions, as well as in developing the evidence base that can be used to inform policy recommendations. The urgency and complexity of food systems transformation underscores the need to consider multiple perspectives and pathways. Lire moins
