https://royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rstb/2025/380/1935How to transform the failing global food system to provide a resilient, #sustainable food future is one of the most urgent problems facing the world. There are increasing calls for a need to transform the system as some of the greatest challenges facing humankind (#ClimateChange, #BiodiversityLoss, #obesity) are linked with how we produce and consume food. Global changes in food demand and dietary habits are placing an unsustainable burden on healthcare systems and environmental #sustainability.
It is within this context that United Kingdom Research and Innovation (#UKRI) invested £47.5 million into a programme ‘Transforming the UK Food System for Healthy People and a Healthy Environment’ (#TUKFS). The objective of the programme is to fundamentally transform the UK food system by placing healthy people and a healthy natural environment at its centre. In this theme issue, leading researchers involved with this programme describe some of the major outputs: new data, evidence and conclusions covering key components and stakeholders of the food system. The papers here provide a case study from the UK which can be compared to and inform policies around the world.
