Local and regional food system intensification must identify locally relevant strategies to meet socio-economic and environmental targets. \u201cWhile net-zero food systems are achievable, bolder implemen-tation of more efficient production practices is fundamental to meet both global food production and climate goals,\u201d says Ciniro Costa Jr., lead author, Alliance of Bioversity International &amp; CIAT. To achieve net-zero, the global food system must implement cost-effective mitigation practices and technologies by 2030 and improve country governance and technical assistance by 2040. By 2050, innovative financial mechanisms and affordable technologies must be implemented to achieve a net-zero emission global food system.<\/p>\n<p>This roadmap presents milestones. \u201cWe cannot wait to start changing consumption patterns and developing new technologies.
