ACTION TRACK 3 : NATURE-POSITIVE PRODUCTION

Background

Although the global population is projected to increase to approximately 10 billion by 2050, the corresponding impacts of food production do not need to increase. Firstly, there is actually already enough food produced to feed 10 billion people. Secondly, it is possible to reduce impacts by changing how we produce food. New and emerging approaches, when adopted alongside the use of traditional knowledge, and regenerative and inclusive practices (such as agroecology, sustainable fishing and democratic food governance), give the potential to transition to nature-positive food production systems--ones that deliver a larger diversity of plants and animals to a growing population, without degrading the functional integrity of ecosystems, whilst meeting the nutritional needs of all current and future generations.

Yet systemic constraints to adopting and combining these practices keep many of our current local and global supply chains stubbornly resistant to change. Action Track 3 will bring stakeholders together to address these lock-ins and co-design game-changing solutions that deliver food production systems that work for both people and nature.
