Food Forward NDCs is a guidance tool to support the enhancement and implementation of NDC ambitions for agriculture and food systems transformation. It will help countries to strengthen their NDCs by providing easy and accessible content to identify policy measures and practices and information about their climate change mitigation, adaptation and sustainable development benefits.
The tool is a consolidated collection of guidance in more than 30 specific areas of food systems transformation, organized across five priority areas - namely, food environment, food governance, food production, food supply chains and food consumption. The content can be used to identify relevant policy options, implementation measures, their climate and sustainable development benefits, potential trade-offs and examples of their implementation in practice.
The content provides the basis to inform a holistic policymaking and implementation approach by considering the interaction between different policy objectives within the food system and a series of co-benefits and trade-offs of each policy option.
