As countries pursue economic, social and environmental priorities, they must understand unintended consequences of their policies. By balancing priorities, they can find “sphere of sustainability,” where cutting poverty, tackling inequality & protecting the planet is possible.
Let's transform our agrifood systems for:
🔹Better production
🔸Better nutrition
🔹Better environment
🔸Better life, leaving no one behind.
A sustainable & food secure world for all is possible if we work together ���� https://t.co/BfJlv5NLVz
Food systems are the main driver of biodiversity loss. Without transforming food systems, we will be unable to reverse biodiversity loss.
We are missing huge opportunities to limit climate change, reverse biodiversity loss and support human health: https://t.co/vJAR2d663Z
