Summary:The transformation of agri-food systemsi requires moving beyond silo approaches and hence a coordination between different constituent sectors of the systems. This coordination however should not be limited to communication between these sectors and an agreement on a set of definitions. This should rather translate into a concrete strategy based on systemic solutions that contribute to healthy, equitable, resilient, and sustainable agri-food systems. In this regard, there is a need for concerted cross-sectoral efforts aimed at transforming the agri-food systems. Such efforts must also aim at a redress of the different blind spots and closing the existing gaps in the debate.
