How can inclusive business innovations shape a resilient food system?

Food prices have reached a record high, exacerbated by a series of shocks including the Covid-19 pandemic, conflict and drought in key growing areas linked to climate change. According to the latest State of Food Security and Nutrition report, the world is at a “critical juncture,” and around 660 million people may still face hunger in 2030. What is the future of food, and what role can Inclusive Business play in shaping a sustainable food system? In this issue of CLUED-iN, we speak with entrepreneurs, investors and academics, who discuss how business models and supply chains can be transformed to support affordable nutrition and build long-term resilience.
