How will we eat and produce food in the future?
The way we produce and consume food must fundamentally change if we are to meet the challenges of the future. How will this transformation be achieved, and what obstacles and opportunities lie on the path to a sustainable food system?

Scientific articlesThe global deforestation footprint of agriculture and forestry
Global forest loss threatens the climate, biodiversity, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Tracking deforestation linked to commodity production and consumption allows for the identification of trends, drivers, and hotspots, providing a basis for zero-deforestation policies.

Scientific articlesFrom waste to value? Balancing climate and social outcomes in social supermarkets
Food waste is a major global challenge, with around one-third of all food—1.3 billion tonnes annually—lost or wasted despite commitments to halve it by 2030.
Mistra Food Futures Academy
Training young researchers, research assistants, doctoral students, and postdoctoral researchers is fundamental to academic activity. Mistra Food Futures is organized around a group of doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers, who, with guidance from senior advisors and mentors from both academia and partners in the food system, will carry out their doctoral or postdoctoral training within the program. In this way, we are training the next generation of food system researchers with the necessary interdisciplinary skills and competencies, which helps ensure the availability of qualified researchers in sustainable food systems.
