Solutions

Learn about innovative solutions around the world

 

As a global community we urgently need to recreate how our food systems work to ensure both human AND planetary health. With this portal, our goal is to help connect food system actors to more equitably address both of these related issues. In this part of the portal, learn about how people all over the world are working to solve these problems in innovative ways and we invite you to share your solutions and experiences with the portal community.

 

AT A GLANCE 100+ solutions in the portal so far span the food supply chain - including policies, technologies, nature-based solutions, public/private collaborations, financial solutions, education, and social equity approaches. 

Sometimes a ‘solution’ is...

...introducing a new technology into the food supply chain...

...reimagining how existing ‘best practices’ and traditional knowledge can be used in new or more effective ways or in a new context...

...engaging new types of people to help advance “win-win” solutions in more sustainable ways.

As you explore solutions in this databse, keep in mind that no single innovation will fix the food system. Truly ‘game-changing’ solutions are about finding synergies between businesses, governments and civil society to join forces and invest in bundles of innovations to reach the scale necessary to truly transform our food systems – for better nutrition, better planetary health, and greater equity by 2030.
