Sustainability goal literacy enables mission-oriented agrifood research

Research and innovation in agrifood systems can advance global goals, yet their complexity demands clearer guidance. Here, using a German agrifood research program, we show how integrating sustainability goals into transition pathways builds sustainability goal literacy and supports mission-oriented research.

Abstract

Research and innovation in agrifood systems can advance global goals, yet their complexity demands clearer guidance. Here, using a German agrifood research program, we show how integrating sustainability goals into transition pathways builds sustainability goal literacy and supports mission-oriented research.
