Unfss science days side event: reforming agricultural policies to support food systems transformation

Agriculture receives around US$600 billion per year worldwide in government support, giving rise to  questions about how such support could be restructured to meet important goals of food systems transformation, such as emission reduction and climate resilience, improved food and nutritional security, enhanced poverty reduction and equity.

This UNFSS Science Days side event, organized by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI),  Indian Council for International Economic Research (ICRIER), and Academy of Global Food Economics and Policy, China Agricultural University, will examine the latest trends in agricultural support policies and examine this topic of how such support could be “repurposed” to support food systems transformation.
