Policies and Design Processes to Enable Transformation (original) (raw)

, marieke veeger, joost vervoort, and george wamukoya Highlights • Climate change and food security are 'messy' policy issues; policies need to be effectively shaped and fit for purpose across different scales, geographic areas, and sectors. • Policy implementation necessitates coordination across multiple perspectives towards a common goal; an anticipatory governance approach can enable this. • Working against the status quo is not an easy task but can be achieved through truly engaged and inclusive stakeholder processes. • Redistribution of power entails employing a gendered, socially inclusive lens in the development of food system transformation policies. • Establishing an enabling policy environment for transforming food systems requires diverse approaches and multiple perspectives. • Appropriate facilitation and coordination of multi-stakeholder engagements is key to clear communication between participants and to support learning.
