Food system drivers Are the major factors known to directly influence the activities or the actors of the food systems. They include factors such as technological innovations, climate change, growing concerns about food safety, population growth or urbanization and changes in life style.

Food system actors and activities Include five major types of activities and their actors: food production, storage and distribution, food processing and packaging, and retail and marketing.

Food Environment Refers to the different interacting processes that directly influence key characteristics of food, including their availability, quality, affordability or safety.

Consumer behavior Refers not only to what people choose to buy and to eat but also people’s taste and preference, their socio-economic characteristics (for instance their income or education level) as well as their cultural identities (“who they are”)

Food system outcomes Can be grouped into four major categories: the environmental, nutrition and health, economic and social impacts of food systems. Those different outcomes are generally characterized by trade-offs and many of the key decisions that are made by policy makers need to account for those trade-offs to avoid unintended consequences.
