However, how we govern food systems significantly\u00a0determines\u00a0the nature of these connections, the extent to which they can be adapted and transformed, and resultant feedback effects that influence sustainability outcomes across food, environment,\u00a0climate\u00a0and public health (FECPH).<\/p>\n
Understanding and preventing unintended outcomes and realising positive outcomes, requires making food systems\u2019 interactions, include power, more explicit so that they can be directly managed and governed. This requires an analysis of both the connections between FECPH and the power relations and governance practices that shape them.\u00a0Yet,\u00a0issues of power and power relations have often been ignored in research and policy\u00a0seeking\u00a0to understand and support sustainable change.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0MatMakt\u00a0project will develop knowledge on existing power relations within the Norwegian food system, and how they shape connections between FECPH. The project adopts a combined food system governance and system thinking approach. Using system thinking and modelling the project will map the interconnections and feedback relations between food, environment,\u00a0climate\u00a0and public health in three Norwegian food value chains, each with different power and governance dynamics. We will complement this with an analysis of power relations, governance mechanisms and practices which will be integrated into the model through feedback narratives. In so doing, the project will provide policy recommendations for achieving effective food system governance, rooted in principles of collaboration and negotiation,\u00a0so as to\u00a0maximise sustainability outcomes across FECPH.<\/p>\n
