Using Sweden as an illustrative case, this study explores actors’ perceptions of influence to change grain legume consumption and production, and examines system structures that support or hinder these actions. Findings suggest most actors attribute influence to others than themselves, most frequently the national government. 

This paper synthesises insights from 19 case studies in six African countries. Five key focus areas were identified: food system governance, indigenous crops and African foods, innovations for sustainable production among small-scale farmers, consumer preferences, and food loss and waste. Major priorities for transforming African food systems include inclusive engagement and the integration of indigenous knowledge to improve local food choices and resilience. 

This analysis finds that global agricultural production for food and industrial inputs has increasingly shifted to the global South, global food-system income is increasingly captured by post-farm activities in the global North, and a substantial share of food-system income is captured in low-tax jurisdictions with low agricultural production.

The 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission on healthy, sustainable, and just food systems presents new evidence-based insights on nutrition and human health, within safe and just planetary boundaries. New to this Commission are updates to the planetary health diet, measurement and assessment of the impact food systems have in driving transgressions of planetary boundaries, an exploration of multi-dimensional and underlying issues of food justice. 

This study analyses the biodiversity pressure of fruit and vegetables in the UK, South Africa and India, comparing imported and domestically grown. In all three, imported fruits typically exert greater pressure than domestically grown fruits. Contrastingly, in India and South Africa, imported vegetables generally have a lower biodiversity pressure than domestically grown. 

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.
