Quantifying the compromise

What if you could foresee the way agrifood systems evolve overtime according to choices made and resources mobilized? What if those choices could be simulated in different scenarios, to predict the best feasible options for policy intervention? Thanks to an FAO initiative, a pool of international research institutions is conducting innovative modelling and analyses supporting Indonesia and Uganda to translate their national priorities for food systems transformation into concrete policies and actions.

“This way, both governments will be better informed to navigate trade-offs, identify optimal policy mixes and reach representative deals to shape their strategies for food security and nutrition,” says Anna Rappazzo, FAO’s Project Officer who coordinates the subprogramme Governance innovation for sustainable development of food systems funded by the FAO Flexible Voluntary Contribution (FVC).
