The report, requested by the Committee of World Food Security (CFS), addresses the urgent need to enhance food system resilience amidst escalating environmental, political and economic challenges. By promoting agency, strengthening socioecological interdependence, and respecting planetary boundaries, the report charts a path toward food security and nutrition for all. It moves beyond traditional notions of resilience, calling instead for “bouncing forward” through structural transformation.
Main policy recommendations include strengthening governance and policy coherence; fostering diverse food systems; enhancing knowledge systems and processes; science-based decision making; and improving emergency preparedness, contingency planning and foresight. With a strong emphasis on protecting marginalized groups, integrating agroecology and circular food systems, and leveraging social protection and market mechanisms, the report reaffirms the CFS and HLPE-FSN’s commitment to building resilient, just, and sustainable food systems for present and future generations.
