Abstract:
There is an urgent need for countries to transition their national food and land-use
systems toward food and nutritional security, climate stability, and environmental
integrity. How can countries satisfy their demands while jointly delivering the required
transformative change to achieve global sustainability targets? Here we present a
collaborative approach developed with the FABLE -Food, Agriculture, Biodiversity, Land,
and bioEnergy- Consortium to reconcile both global and national elements for developing
national food and land use system pathways. This approach includes three key features:
(1) global targets, (2) country-driven multi-objective pathways, and (3) multiple iterations
of pathway refinement informed by both national and international impacts. This
approach strengthens policy coherence and highlights where greater national and
international ambition is needed to achieve global goals (e.g. the SDGs). We discuss how
this could be used to support future climate and biodiversity negotiations and what
further developments would be needed.
