The Food Systems Countdown Initiative emerged from the UN Food Systems Summit as an interdisciplinary collaboration that now includes over 65 food systems experts from dozens of institutions worldwide. The Countdown published a monitoring framework comprising five themes:
The Countdown then undertook a consultative process to select a set of 50 indicators across these themes, which constitutes the global indicator framework. The Countdown publishes annual monitoring updates and additional analysis to support the transformation of food systems so they become equitable, sustainable, and resilient and positively contribute to achieving the 2030 SDGs and other global goals.
The Food Systems Countdown Initiative is partnering with country governments and other stakeholders to adapt the Countdown's global indicator framework for each country's priorities and needs.
This work is underway in:
Africa: Benin, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Nigeria, Zambia
Asia: Cambodia, India, Laos
