From Seed to Scale: Turning Early Action into Lasting Impact for Food Systems Transformation

What does early-stage food systems transformation look like in practice? And how can catalytic investments help countries move from ambition to implementation?

A new publication from the UN Food Systems Coordination Hub and the Joint SDG Fund explores how 12 countries are building the foundations for long-term food systems transformation through the Seed Funding Track of the Food Systems Transformation Window. 

The report shows how targeted, time-bound investments helped governments strengthen policy frameworks, reinforce coordination systems, embed food systems priorities into national development and climate agendas, and pilot innovative solutions on the ground.
