The scale and distribution of these profound changes across different food sectors is underexplored. We examine possible impacts on food sectors, contextualised with historical data, of a global food systems transformation by 2050. We do this through modelling a transformation scenario composed of dietary change, productivity growth, and reduction of food loss and waste using a multi-model ensemble of 8 global economic models. Preliminary results show substantial food sector restructuring, including a decline in the economic value of agricultural production (-$1.4tn) by 2050 under a transformation scenario versus current trends. Within this, the value of livestock production collapses (-$1tn) with declines also in cereal and sugar crop values of $800bn, partially offset by increases in the value of vegetable, fruit, and nut production ($700bn). Preliminary results also show changes to growth rates of agricultural land expansion from 0.56%/year on average for grazing land over the last 250 years to -0.87%/year from 2020 to 2050 in a food systems transformation scenario, compared to 0.12%/year under business-as-usual trends. The restructuring of global agriculture and food systems suggests a critical role for food policy to both catalyse such a transformation, as well as navigate the political economic consequences of its impacts. |
