This analysis highlights governance and resilience as critical factors in food system transformation. Using a newly developed monitoring framework, it assesses global trends in food system indicators from 2000 to the present. The findings reveal that while some indicators, such as safe water access and conservation efforts, are improving, others, like food affordability and government accountability, are declining. The study emphasizes the role of governance in managing food system trade-offs and steering policies towards sustainability. It calls for stronger regulatory mechanisms, public engagement, and investment in resilience-building strategies.
