In developing country like Nigeria, a holistic approach should be used because there are several ways to effectively incorporate the hidden costs and benefits of agri-food systems into decision-making for transformation. One of these ways is to conduct a cost-benefit analysis including the hidden costs and benefits, for example, environmental and social impacts. Second way is to use a decision-making framework by incorporating these factors, such as the triple bottom line or the sustainability triple helix. And lastly, it is also important to involve stakeholders in the decision-making process, including farmers (small holders inclusive), consumers, and local communities. By incorporating these hidden costs and benefits into the decision-making process, agri-food systems can be transformed in a more sustainable and equitable way.
This means that decisions about food production, distribution, and consumption will take into account the environmental, social, and economic impacts of agri-food systems. This transformation will help to ensure that food is produced in a way that is environmentally friendly, provides fair compensation for farmers, and promotes healthy and affordable food for consumers. It will also help to ensure that the benefits of agri-food systems are shared more equitably across all stakeholders mentioned above.
