Global food systems GHG emissions in 2020 for different agriculture sectors in terms of gigatons of CO 2 equivalents. Several actors are involved in creating pathways towards net-zero emissions in global food systems. [49] Four areas of focus relate to: lowered GHG-emission practices by increasing production efficiency
Adopting more sustainable production practices is another important resilience-enhancing strategy. [1] [60] Moving towards more sustainable agriculture and food production involves protecting nature; restoring and rehabilitating natural environments; and sustainably managing food production systems.

[104] [106] In sustainable agriculture, the services that ecosystems provide include pollination, soil formation, and nutrient cycling, all of which are necessary functions for the production of food. [107] It is also claimed sustainable agriculture is best considered as an ecosystem approach to agriculture, called agroecology. [108]
The term food system describes the interconnected systems and processes that influence nutrition, food, health, community development, and agriculture.A food system includes all processes and infrastructure involved in feeding a population: growing, harvesting, processing, packaging, transporting, marketing, consumption, distribution, and disposal of food and food-related items.
Sustainable agriculture can be broadly defined as farming via methods that satisfy food and production needs while remaining profitable and sustaining farmers, the environment, and natural resources. [16] [17] The definition of sustainable agriculture varies depending on whether it is being defined within political or scientific discourse. [18]
The US Global Change Research Program (2017) identified four key areas of concern in the agriculture sector: reduced productivity, degradation of resources, health challenges for people and livestock, and the adaptive capacity of agriculture communities. [3] Large-scale adaptation and mitigation of these threats relies on changes in farming policy.
