Food systems | Around the world, food systems are facing a "triple challenge": ensuring food security and nutrition for a growing population, supporting the livelihoods of millions of farmers and others in the food chain, and doing so in an environmentally sustainable way. | |

Towards resilient food systems |
| Food supply chains have been resilient against a wide range of shocks, and international trade plays an important “risk pooling” role. Policies can increase resilience, e.g. by supporting low-income households or by removing supply chain bottlenecks, but some measures like export restrictions exacerbate instability. For truly resilient food systems, however, policy makers must take a broader perspective. |

Sustainable agriculture & food supply chains |
|
|
Food security and environmental sustainability are two key policy objectives for the agricultural sector. Ministers and senior policy makers met last week during an OECD-organised high-level panel at the Global Forum for Food and Agriculture to discuss how we can ‘square the circle’ to achieve sustainable agri-food supply chains that are accessible to all. |
