Food Systems 2030

Food Systems 2030 supports a systems approach to food systems transformation, recognizing that human health, planetary health, and economic prosperity are deeply interconnected.

We focus on generating simultaneous co-benefits across nutrition, climate, and livelihoods by addressing the incentives, institutions, investments, and behaviors that shape food systems outcomes. Our work supports countries in rethinking policies, public expenditures, and investment decisions to unlock more sustainable and inclusive pathways.

Food Systems 2030 supports countries and partners by:

• Generating co-benefits across nutrition, climate, and economic outcomes
• Mobilizing catalytic funding to leverage public financing
• De-risking private investment in sustainable food systems
• Supporting shifts in consumer food spending toward healthier and more sustainable choices
• Strengthening institutions and policy frameworks
• Building evidence on incentives, innovation, and financing for transformation

Food systems are both a major source of global challenges and a powerful opportunity for change.

Food Systems 2030 addresses the hidden social, environmental, and economic costs of food systems through a systems-based Theory of Change that delivers three interlinked outcomes:

• Healthy people through access to sufficient, affordable, and nutritious diets
• A healthy planet through reduced emissions, climate resilience, and nature-based solutions
• Healthy economies through increased investment, productivity, and inclusive growth

These outcomes are essential to achieving the Paris Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 2 (Zero Hunger).
