Articulating the effect of food systems innovation on the Sustainable Development Goals

Mario Herrero et al.

Summary: Food system innovations are crucial in achieving multiple Sustainable Development Goals, but they can lead to profound changes that impact different parts of the global food system simultaneously. It is important to embed innovations as part of systemic changes to avoid unintended negative consequences and address emerging trade-offs involving social aspects like inequality and social justice. Well-planned transition pathways, careful monitoring of key indicators, and transparent science targets at the local level are essential in managing trade-offs with undesirable outcomes.
