Ploughing a new channel for India’s food systems

In an effort to spur national and regional action to deliver the United Nation's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through transforming food systems, the UN Food Systems Summit has called for action by governments in five key areas: nourishment of all people; promoting nature based solutions; Advancing equitable livelihoods, good work and empowered communities; Build resilience to weaknesses, shocks and stresses: and expediting the means of implementation. Such a change in the Indian context would include increasing the interface between the areas of science, society and policy, with a focus on sustainability, resource efficiency and circularity.
