Article: Transforming the Global Food System for Better Health

The global food system has made significant progress since the Green Revolution, increasing yields and reducing malnutrition, but it now faces major health, environmental, and social challenges. Food systems contribute heavily to climate change, biodiversity loss, and poor nutrition, leading to rising hunger, obesity, and economic burdens, especially in low-income countries.

At COP28, food systems gained recognition as critical for climate action, highlighting the need for policies that link nutrition and sustainability. Governments must implement data-driven policies, support sustainable agriculture, and invest in social safety nets, while the private sector must embrace responsible business practices to drive systemic change.
