Building resilient food systems: the role of agricultural value chains in feeding the future

Agricultural and supply chain infrastructure plays a crucial role in supporting inclusive and sustainable food systems in hard-to-reach regions. Inclusive food infrastructure benefits everyone—farmers, manufacturers, food consumers, the private sector and governments alike—by providing essential opportunities not just for food security, but also for education, nutrition and economic growth.

Economist Enterprise’s Feeding the Future programme, supported by Lineage, explores how quality infrastructure—from food storage and transport systems to temperature-controlled supply chains—generates positive economic, social and environmental outcomes. Effective food production and distribution networks can also enhance access to markets, and facilitate the delivery of safe and nutritious foods that combat malnutrition and food waste as well as enabling healthier diets.
