The price tag for transforming food systems under climate change

This brief summarises the estimated costs of implementing high-priority actions for transforming the food system, under four key action areas, as set out in the Actions to Transforming Food Systems under Climate Change report (Steiner et al. 2020):
• REROUTE farming and rural livelihoods to new trajectories
• DE-RISK livelihoods, farms and value chains
• REDUCE emissions through diets and value chains
• REALIGN policies, finance, support to social movements, and innovation
These four action areas are then broken down into eleven priority actions that support other calls for sustainable development. These actions directly address the policy changes called for by numerous international initiatives that hope to make agriculture and food systems more resilient under a changing climate.
