The food system is characterised by complexity, yet policies, programmes and interventions seldom take sufficient account of this, or consider in adequate depth the interrelated nature of the food system’s various components. This results in planners failing to anticipate the unintended effects or unexpected consequences of their actions.

In this collection, we will dive deeper into innovative approaches and see how they have dealt effectively with this complexity, examining with a multidimensional lens the features and good practices of selected examples of a wide range of individual projects throughout the project management cycle.
