This scoping review examines how policy coherence has been broadly defined and measured in areas related to food system transformation to inform conceptualization, definition, and measurement specific to food systems transformation and provide insights for policy and program implementation. We reviewed literature published from January 2000 to December 2022 and identified 47 studies meeting the inclusion criteria. Results show that common features of definitions of policy coherence relevant for food systems are: an emphasis on minimizing tradeoffs and maximizing synergies; policy integration within different areas of government and food systems or across scales (horizontal or vertical coherence); alignment of objectives, interventions, and indicators within a given policy area; and complementarity and consistency of actions and goals within or across sectors of food systems. Measurement methods to date are mainly limited to qualitative policy document review and participatory assessment, with no examples of application at scale. This paper provides a first step towards a definition and measurement approach for policy coherence that can fill this important data gap in monitoring the governance of food systems transformation and synthesizes evidence to guide actions towards greater policy coherence in governing national food systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48741,"journal":{"name":"Global Food Security-Agriculture Policy Economics and Environment","volume":"43 ","pages":"Article 100803"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142530326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue that some well-known strategies remain critical for improving the efficiency of labor markets: expanding demand for labor and increasing formalization, especially in agrifood systems sectors. However, efficiency does not mean equality, and these strategies require careful targeting and intentional actions to redistribute resources to ensure inclusion. Whilst long-recognized strategies remain underfunded, initial endowments are essential to bring about inclusive transformation: growing human capital and productive resources and increasing women's empowerment. Finally, we suggest two emerging tools for labor market expansion and inclusivity: expanding jobs within the green transition and fostering resilient labor markets through social protection.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48741,"journal":{"name":"Global Food Security-Agriculture Policy Economics and Environment","volume":"43 ","pages":"Article 100815"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142530327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exposure and vulnerability to climate hazards in areas of high rural poverty create an urgent need for adaptation. Poor rural areas and people experience higher limits to adaptation and thus higher costs in achieving effectiveness, as well as greater risk of incurring losses and damages where adaptation is insufficient. Mitigation measures in the agriculture, forestry and land use (AFOLU) sector could impose large, underestimated costs in the form of foregone opportunities for improved livelihoods. Past and current emission levels associated with wealth and opportunity are highly unequally distributed. The constrained additional carbon space to remain under 1.5 or 2 degrees of global warming mandates low emissions development pathways, requiring investments of trillions of dollars per year. Financing currently available is neither sufficient nor provided under the terms required to support a Just Transition. Overcoming these challenges requires building political will through explicit recognition and widespread communication of how climate change response can further disadvantage the poorest people in the global community. It requires revisiting distributional implications of methodologies for prioritizing mitigation options and devising approaches based on equity. Increasing the flow of financing under enabling conditions and integrating development and climate change is an urgent priority. A radical revamping of technical and policy approaches to climate change response and rural development strategies is needed to ensure their mutual reinforcement and prioritization of a resilient, inclusive approach to rural transformation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48741,"journal":{"name":"Global Food Security-Agriculture Policy Economics and Environment","volume":"43 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142442855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
