The need to shift towards new ways of thinking and working to address the current global challenges is implied in the growing conversation around agrifood systems, systems approaches and transformation. While increasingly used, these terms are far from being universally understood. A series of country change stories has been documented in an attempt to ground the global agrifood systems discourse in specific realities, demystify some of the terms involved and make sense of what they mean at country level. The five stories in this publication illustrate the varied ways in which FAO accompanied governments, civil society organizations and other development partners on a journey of agrifood systems transformation in Côte d’Ivoire, Cambodia, the Pacific, Guatemala and Albania. The stories show how countries are gradually moving away from linear ways of thinking and working to adopt elements of a systems approach to steer ongoing food systems transformations towards greater social, economic and environmental sustainability. They recount the changes observed by different partners at the system level in their countries – in terms of mindsets, power dynamics, relations and structures – and explore the factors that enabled these changes as well as obstacles to further process.
