Abstract

In 2020, the Centre for Food Policy at City, University of London, the Global Alliance for improved Nutrition (GAIN) and Johns Hopkins University compiled a list of 42 actions to orient food systems towards healthy diets. Thoseactions have the potential to effect change through food supply chains, food environments and consumers.

In this Brief, we build on that work, shifting the focus towards the environment. We extracted a menu of 45 actions to re-orient food systems towards environmental sustainability using the same methodology. To emphasise the potential ramifications that implementing these actions on a large scale could imply, we also incorporated potential trade-offs and nutrition co-benefits within the list. Potential trade-offs have been identified through a review of existing literature, while potential co-benefits with the 42 policies and actions on healthy diets have been identified through a novel methodology designed for this project.
