Tracking the implementation of CFS policy recommendations on agroecological approaches

The global food system is characterized by a confluence of challenges, among which include demographic changes, climate change, land degradation, biodiversity loss, and competition over renewable resources. Agriculture accounts for 60 percent of terrestrial biodiversity loss, 33 percent of soil degradation, 61 percent of the depletion of commercial fish stocks (UNEP, 2016), and an estimated 34 percent of GHG emissions. Moreover, with an estimated 3.1 billion people unable to afford a healthy diet in 2020 nearly 670 million people projected to be hungry in 2030, and the growing concerns around equity and social justice, the global food system is moving in the wrong direction, and a profound transformation is needed at all scales.
