Themes
Food systems and diets underpin many critical challenges to public health and environmental sustainability, including malnutrition, noncommunicable diseases, and climate change, but healthy diets have the unique potential to reshape the future for both human and planetary well-being. Drawing on recent evidence and experience, the 2024 Global Food Policy Report highlights opportunities for transforming food systems to ensure sustainable healthy diets for all.
Rethinking Crisis Reponses
Increased frequency and impact of crises require rethinking our responses, drawing on recent research and evidence-based policies
Early Warning Systems
Early warning systems play a vital role in identifying likely crises and speeding responses, but could be made more effective with greater integration
Humanitarian Response & Early Action
Anticipatory action can deliver more effective humanitarian responses and support resilience building by preparing for crises in advance
Resilient Value Chains
Flexible, innovative value chains are well placed to adapt during crises, continuing to provide food security and support livelihoods
Social Protection
Social protection, especially safety net programs, can build resilience for vulnerable populations before a shock and reduce impacts on food security and poverty when crises hit
Promoting Equality
Prioritizing policies that support women and their empowerment before and during crises is essential to reducing harm from food system shocks
Addressing Forced Migration
For people forced from their homes by crises, as well as hosting and sending communities, well-tailored policies can expand the positive impacts of migration
