| SHiFT`s research partner meeting: Highlights from WP3 on Governance and Inclusive Food Systems |
|
In November 2023, the CGIAR Research Initiative on Sustainable Healthy Diets through Food Systems Transformation (SHiFT) held its first research partner meeting to share research findings, evaluate progress, and set goals for the future. Researchers from SHiFT’s Work Package 3 on Governance and Inclusive Food Systems (WP3) discussed their approach to understanding and navigating the complex challenges surrounding food systems transformation. |

In November 2023, the CGIAR Research Initiative on Sustainable Healthy Diets through Food Systems Transformation (SHiFT) held its first research partner meeting to share research findings, evaluate progress, and set goals for the future. Researchers from SHiFT’s Work Package 3 on Governance and Inclusive Food Systems (WP3) discussed their approach to understanding and navigating the complex challenges surrounding food systems transformation.
Understanding the landscape
Food systems do not operate in isolation. Political, social, and economic forces are interwoven throughout food value chains, hindering progress toward sustainable healthy diets. Untangling these webs of actors, forms of powers, and structures is key for achieving transformative change. Through literature reviews and diagnostic analyses, WP3 researchers are exploring the hidden factors that shape food choices and policy decisions.
In 2022 and 2023, baseline assessments were conducted in Viet Nam, Ethiopia, and Honduras to characterize the current food systems landscape and identify roadblocks to transformation. By engaging with key stakeholders from governments, institutions, NGOs, civil society, and the private sector, WP3 is generating awareness about the political economy of food systems. These analyses position WP3 to support stakeholders in developing evidence-based solutions that will address barriers and advance food systems transformation.
The International Food Policy Research Institute and the Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT lead SHiFT in close collaboration with Wageningen University and Research and with contributions from the International Potato Center. SHiFT combines high-quality nutritional and social science research capacity with development partnerships to generate innovative, robust solutions that contribute to healthier, more sustainable dietary choices and consumption of sustainable healthy diets. It builds on CGIAR’s unparalleled track record of agricultural research for development, including ten years of work on food systems and nutrition under the CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH).
