CASE STUDY 07Today’s Solutions for the Future of Food
Executive Summary
A 2019 landmark report presents the need for food system change as an opportunity and an urgent call to action. The time for change is now: the food system produces a quarter of all global greenhouse gas emissions, and the world’s population is projected to grow to 10 billion by 2050.
This case study focuses on a trio of strategies for redesigning the food system: the need to sustainably intensify production; promote a shift towards healthier plant-based diets; and reduce global food loss and waste. Building on scientific evidence, this case study highlights real-world examples of how individuals, organizations, and companies are putting these Planetary Health strategies into action.
