| Sumario: | After reviewing the complexity and challenges in building food systems to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this article presents some suggestions for strengthening specific aspects of trade and investment policies. These are likely to require collective action on behalf of G20 countries through the Trade and Investment Working Group and related bodies. They include (i) considering better categories for trade negotiations; (ii) encouraging public expenditure reviews focused on sustainable food and agricultural systems and the related SDGs; (iii) promoting a full review of rural financial markets and the financing of value chains and food systems in order to remove the obstacles to the funding of the required transformations; and (iv) creating a project preparation and support facility to develop projects that scale up the use of climate-smart agricultural technologies among small and family farms, and to help mobilise private sector resources |
