Urgent recall - Our food system under review

neweconomics.org: What makes a food system successful? Historically, the criteria have been high output, low prices, and eradication of deficiency diseases. This understanding is outdated and needs redefining. A successful food system is one that delivers high wellbeing, social justice and environmental stewardship. This report identifies eight indicators, illustrating that such a food system will: - have a neutral or positive environmental impact; - be productive in its use of energy and other inputs; - be diverse in species and genes; - support good jobs; - be dominated by short and simple supply chains; - be composed of assets that are controlled by a wide and inclusive set of stakeholders; - foster a positive and thriving food culture and the highest levels of public health; - make food affordable to everyone.
