Our Ambition
On becoming a member of ACF, countries commit to strengthening their national food systems visions, integrating food systems into climate and biodiversity plans, and reporting annually on progress across key interventions
Shared commitments
Update or develop new national visions and Food Systems Transformation Pathways, inclusive of the ten priority intervention areas listed below, and consistent with science-based targets.
Update their International Strategies including their National Determined Contributions (NDCs), Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategy (LT-LEDS), National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) in line with the National Food System Transformation Pathways and/or Implementation Plans.
Communicate on progress and report annually on targets and priority intervention areas.
Ten intervention areas
At the heart of ACF are the ten priority ‘action areas’ developed in close collaboration with ACF founding governments and CGIAR. Collectively, these ten areas invite countries to take a ‘whole of government’ approach to their food system, coordinating programmes across ministries.
These, in turn, drive improved outcomes across climate mitigation, adaptation and resilience, nature and biodiversity, food and nutrition security, and equity and livelihoods. Click on to the wheel, right, to discover more.
Five outcome areas
Food and Nutrition Security
Access to safe, healthy, affordable, and nutritious food for healthy lives.
Adaptation and Resilience
Agricultural systems and communities strengthened to withstand climate impacts, disasters, and economic shocks.
Equity and Livelihoods
Fair incomes, protected vulnerable populations, and enhanced social inclusion across food supply chains.
Nature and Biodiversity
Ecosystems protected and restored, degraded land brought back into production.
Climate Mitigation
Greenhouse gas emissions reduced and carbon sequestration across entire food value chains increased.
