According to the UN, over 828 million people worldwide face hunger, a stark indicator of the deep-seated issues within global food systems. The Food System Sustainability Compass emerged as a response, offering a structured framework to help decision-makers navigate the complex challenges and trade-offs inherent in transforming these systems toward more equitable and sustainable outcomes. It moves beyond simple metrics to integrate diverse perspectives for comprehensive evaluation.

An estimated 600 million people, or nearly 1 in 10 globally, fall ill from eating contaminated food each year. This statistic highlights a critical question: who is in charge of our food and the safety standards that protect us? The reality is not a single entity, but a complex, multi-layered system involving diverse actors from farm to fork.
