In The Accidental Seed Heroes, Adam Alexander meets a range of seed innovators, who are not only championing traditional varieties but also breeding delicious new ones that will help create a sustainable future for our planet.

The food branch of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology have released two reports on how the food industry can drive mainstream acceptance of plant-based and cultivated meat across Europe.

This report by the WWF shows how cost-effective climate and nature policies can help tackle the cost-of-living crisis, saving households and farmers money while boosting the UK's energy and food security. The policies would quickly put pounds in people's pockets and stimulate the economy, all without requiring large public spending.

This briefing by the Food Foundation summarises some of the risks posed to food businesses and their investors by nature and biodiversity loss and provides suggestions for investors through corporate stewardship and financing activities.

In a report and interactive gallery from the Global Alliance for the Future of Food, eight food justice leaders—from Nepal, Palestine, Ghana, Mexico, Canada, China & the USA, Peru, and Myanmar—came together in deep dialogue to unpack what food justice means to them and share stories from the frontline. 

This paper aims to summarise the frameworks currently used to analyse food policymaking processes and to critically assess whether those frameworks can be applied to the analysis of ‘systems’ approaches to policymaking. It found while the use of such tools are limited there are significant benefits to understand the ideas, knowledge, power and decision-making that lead to food policy development.

This study offers framework to integrate non-human needs in agricultural design processes by identifying and reflecting upon trade-offs and providing tools with the goal of contributing to just and sustainable transformations of agricultural systems.

Using data covering most of the global economy over 1993–2021, this study reports ten stylized facts about labour reallocation amid structural transformation. As incomes grow, labour exits primary production while downstream agrifood value chain segments maintain a steady economy-wide employment share—offering jobs that pay better than farm work. 

This paper critically reviews existing scenarios on global food systems, published by key organizations and authors in the last eight years, to identify common themes of plausible food system futures, the key uncertainties and emerging radical ideas.
