15. A sustainable Food Production Sector

16. ENVIRONMENTAL OUTCOMES VS. FOOD PRICES Step 1: Map SDGs to specific, concrete policy options in seven policy silos. Step 2: Use GLOBIOM to project outcomes (food prices, land use change, biodiversity loss & deforestation, fertilizer & water use) of policies across silos.

17. ENVIRONMENTAL OUTCOMES VS. FOOD PRICES For all SDG strategies, GLOBIOM results indicate positive correlation between environmental conservation policies and food prices. Increasing food prices Improving environmental outcomes

18. The Global Food System 18

19. The VISION: sustainable, nutritious food to meet needs for a healthy diet for all Recommendation 1: “systems thinking” and interdisciplinary research Recommendation 2: innovating engagement in the “sustainable food” challenge Recommendation 3: driving the innovation environment END GAME: healthy environment, population and economy
