Food Systems
Recommendations Database

This database was developed by the GDPRD to collate and summarize recommendations from key international reports and meetings related to food systems and rural development.

Recommendations are collated from key global reports, to provide policy makers and researchers with easy access to both the reports and their conclusions. All recommendations or conclusions from these reports and meetings are allocated to one or more thematic areas (eg. gender, climate, resilience) for easy reference. Similar category recommendations are then grouped to form a clustered recommendation. Search by thematic areas, keywords or by report. The database does not link recommendations from academic journals. 

For best results, view this page on a computer or tablet for optimal usability. This is currently a BETA version so any feedback on functionality or content would be appreciated. To provide feedback or suggestions for additional reports to add, email us.

Meet Our Members | Ron Hartman, IFAD

We need to find ways of building resilience because we can’t afford, as a global community, a continued sort of humanitarian and emergency support. We try and catalyse our investments to influence policy to have an even greater impact on promoting sustainable food system transformation.

Meet Our Members | Sebastian Lesch, BMZ

The paradigm shift is really from seeing food systems as a system that produces food to one that is part of the Sustainable Development Goals. SDG 2 is not independent from the others and we need that holistic view.
