Taking a Food Systems Approach to Policymaking

This is a package of resources produced by the Centre for Food Policy at City, University of London, and Results for Development (R4D), supported by an international Advisory Group of practitioners, consists of four briefs to answer this question.
  • BRIEF I  (# 9 p.) Taking a Food Systems Approach to Policymaking: What, How, and Why
  • BRIEF II (# 12 p.) Taking a Food Systems Approach to Policymaking: Managing Stakeholders and Identifying Policy Entry Points
  • BRIEF III (# 10 p.)Taking a Food Systems Approach to Policymaking: Developing a Shared Agenda
  • BRIEF IV (# 10 p.) Taking a Food Systems Approach to Policymaking: Costing and Financing
They also include an evidence review (# 77 p.) which shows how policies can bring multiple benefits across the food system but also unintended consequences, showing the need to take a food systems approach to advance co-benefits and manage trade-offs. The review covers policies on cash and food transfers, food safety, road transport infrastructure, agricultural extension, and land tenure.

You can access all of the resources on R4D’s website.
