New indices from FoodSIVI for reporting inequity in the food system
New research from FoodSIVI published in the journal Nature Food introduces indices to measure inequity in agri-food value chains. Measuring and reporting inequity would reduce the risk of misallocating capital for a just transition to sustainable and health-producing food systems.

There is a large global disparity between who receives the benefits of the production, manufacturing and retail in the global food system, and who pays the costs.

The human and planetary global footprint of food is huge. The costs of this footprint are not factored into the market or supermarket price of food. What is the scale of these costs, and what would happen to the economy if the global footprint of food were reduced?
Valuing the Impact of Food: New FoodSIVI report launches
The new FoodSIVI report, Valuing the Impact of Food, provides a pathway towards costing the impact of getting food on our plates, which include diet-related disease, poverty and use of natural resources. Recovering those costs would result in a tremendous change in human and social welfare and a very different global future.
