Why the Great Food Transformation may not happen-A deep-dive into our food systems' political economy, controversies and politics of evidence

Christophe Bene

Summary: This paper explores the conditions and self-reinforcing dynamics that hinder the Great Transformation of food systems called for by international experts and development agencies. The concentration of economic and market power, along with other factors such as ideology and policy incoherence, prevent the alignment of the food systems towards sustainability. While innovation is often seen as a game-changer, the profit-driven nature of its evolutionary selection fails to steer the food systems towards sustainability. A normative and global approach, with an emphasis on governance transformation, is necessary to overcome the current barriers and achieve the long-awaited sustainable transformation.

Multidimensional impacts from international agricultural research: Implications for research priorities

Keith Fuglie et al.

Summary: Investors in international agricultural research are looking for sustainable agri-food technologies that can achieve multiple objectives, such as economic growth, food security, and sustainable use of natural resources. This study uses quantitative economic models to analyze the potential multi-dimensional impacts of agricultural productivity gains in the Global South. The results reveal the strengths and potential tradeoffs of different R&D spending allocations and can inform decision-making about an optimal R&D portfolio that considers the multiple objectives of agricultural investments.

Closing Research Investment Gaps for a Global Food Transformation

Alex Bollington et al.

Summary: Calls for a global food transformation have been increasing, recognizing the declining food and nutrient diversity alongside the negative impact of food systems on climate and ecology. While grain legumes and coarse grain crops provide important nutrition and environmental benefits, their production and consumption remain lower compared to major commodities, mainly due to insufficient funding and support.
