FAO seeks to support the 2030 Agenda through the transformation to more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems for better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life, leaving no one behind. Using an agrifood systems approach ensures the effective operation and cooperation of all the food system components to enable healthy diets while considering the effect of different drivers, such as trade, socio-economic barriers, biophysical and environmental concerns, and technology.

The impact pathways can help policy and programme actors to identify promising entry points for transformative actions. They can be general or by sector, either country, region, or local/ community-focused. The pathways can also be tailored to food commodities that are part of healthy diets.

They were developed through a consultative approach involving project formulators, target communities, policymakers, private sector and academia. The mapping activities, indicators and budget information will facilitate the assessment of opportunities and trade-offs. Find out more below.
