Agricultural sustainability strategies, global aspects and policy

Summary in the original language of the document

The current way of running food systems cannot continue, but simply switching to agroecological farming alone isn't enough. The key to creating sustainable food systems is to make them smaller overall. Circular food systems—where animals play an important role—can help. Reducing the size of the system allows for less intensive farming with lower yields, without risking food security. Technically, we already know how to do this. To truly make agriculture sustainable, we also need to talk about consumption and take a full food systems approach to fully benefit from agroecological practices.
