The Joint Programming Initiative on Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change, together with Healthy Diet, Healthy Life, organised a workshop entitled "The (im)possible coherence? – Science-Policy, Blockages and Transformation" in Brussels, on November 27th 2023.
This workshop aimed to explore the challenge of policy coherence in the transition to a sustainable and healthy Food System in Europe, from science to implementation. Food systems are, by definition, complex and interwoven, creating diverse blockages.
Despite advancements across scientific disciplines, the puzzle of achieving policy coherence in the transition of food systems persists. This workshop raised a fundamental question:
What is needed for better coherence between science and policies to transform the food system?
Amidst polarisation, this workshop aimed to define a common language, consider trade-offs intrinsic to food systems transformation, and consider ways to measure coherence, for example, through integrated, trans-disciplinary approaches and its challenges, paving the way forward with a comprehensive understanding.
José Valls Bedeau, Policy Officer at the Food Systems and Food Safety Division, FAO, was invited as a keynote speaker to this workshop, where he reflected upon and provided some examples of key challenges and entry points of adopting Food Policy Coherence.
