In order to effectively incorporate the hidden costs and benefits of agri-food systems into decision-making for transformation in Vanuatu, it is essential to conduct comprehensive cost-benefit analyses. This involves identifying and quantifying both the visible and invisible impacts of agricultural practices, such as environmental degradation, health implications, and social equity considerations. By utilizing tools such as economic valuation, life cycle assessments, and multi-criteria decision analysis, decision-makers can gain a more holistic understanding of the implications of different agricultural approaches. Furthermore, engaging with diverse stakeholders including farmers, consumers, and policymakers is crucial for capturing the full range of costs and benefits associated with agri-food systems. Additionally, building capacity for data collection and analysis within Vanuatu will be essential for ensuring that decision-making processes are informed by robust evidence. Ultimately, by integrating these hidden costs and benefits into decision-making processes, Vanuatu can work towards sustainable and resilient agri-food systems that deliver positive outcomes for both people and the planet.
