"Food systems transformation addresses so many urgent and interconnected goals, from climate progress, nutrition, health, jobs, and food security to safety and global stability," said Ruth Richardson, Executive Director of the Global Alliance. "We know that bold action -- whether that's through new metrics to inform decision-making to ramping up investment in solutions like agroecology -- can have transformational effects across agendas for nations worldwide. We need global leaders to act boldly and embrace measurable, transparent approaches like True Cost Accounting to move us forward - especially with COP26 around the corner."

Key Points: 
  • The UNFSS process must commit to measuring the true costs of food, and embrace a measurable systems approach with transparency and integrity.
  • "Food systems transformation addresses so many urgent and interconnected goals, from climate progress, nutrition, health, jobs, and food security to safety and global stability," said Ruth Richardson, Executive Director of the Global Alliance.
  • True Cost Accounting is a dynamic policy making approach that captures all of thepositive and negative impacts of food systems on our economy, environment and society.
  • "Diverse networks and global coalitions stand ready to be the champions for food systems transformation," said Richardson, "but UN and global leaders must also commit to transformational change - and to measuring the real costs of our food."

True Cost Accounting is a dynamic policy making approach that captures all of the positive and negative impacts of food systems on our economy, environment and society. A recent report from The Rockefeller Foundation, a Global Alliance member, found that while the United States spends $1.1t annually on food, when the "hidden" impacts of the food system -- from rising diet-related disease and accelerating biodiversity loss and increasingly precarious livelihoods -- are factored in, the "true cost" of the U.S. food system is at least $3.2 trillion a year. At a global level, the costs are estimated to be USD $19.8 trillion per year.

Key Points: 
  • The UNFSS process must commit to measuring the true costs of food, and embrace a measurable systems approach with transparency and integrity.
  • "Food systems transformation addresses so many urgent and interconnected goals, from climate progress, nutrition, health, jobs, and food security to safety and global stability," said Ruth Richardson, Executive Director of the Global Alliance.
