According to scientists from the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, 5 groups of barriers are keeping our food systems locked into unsustainable trajectories.
New research, published in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, identifies a ‘system of barriers,’ each reinforcing the others. The authors have organized these into a comprehensive framework with the aim of empowering policymakers, civil society organizations, and researchers to tackle food sustainability challenges more effectively.
