Growing Better: Ten Critical Transitions to Transform Food and Land Use
The Global Consultation Report of the Food and Land Use Coalition September 2019
For people, nature and climate
There is a remarkable opportunity to transform food and land use systems, but as the challenges are growing, we need to act with great urgency. The global report from the Food and Land Use Coalition (FOLU) proposes a reform agenda – centred around ten critical transitions – of real actionable solutions. These could deliver the needed change to boost progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement, help mitigate the negative effects of climate change, safeguard biodiversity, ensure more healthy diets for all, drastically improve food security and create more inclusive rural economies.
Critical transition 1: Promoting healthy diets
Critical transition 2: Scaling productive and regenerative agriculture
Critical transition 3: Protecting and restoring nature
Critical transition 4: Security a healthy and productive ocean
Critical transition 5: Diversifying protein supply
Critical transition 6: Reducing food loss and waste
Critical transition 7: Building local loops and linkages
Critical transition 8: Harnessing the digital revolution
Critical transition 9: Delivering stronger rural livelihoods
Critical transition 10: Improving gender equality and accelerating the demographic transition
