The term “food systems” refers to the processes that bring food from production areas to households and can impact food quality. It encompasses all activities involved in food production, processing, transportation, consumption, and management. Food systems involve all individuals and the interconnected network of actors and activities related to feeding the population.
Meanwhile, sustainable food systems refer to activities, processes, and actors that provide food security and nutrition for all without compromising economic, social, and environmental foundations for future generations. These systems are efficient, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable in the long term.
