In response to the UN Food Systems Summit in 2021, Switzerland developed its first National Pathway for Food Systems Transformation as part of global efforts to advance the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Grounded in Switzerland’s 2030 Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS 2030) and its initial Action Plan, the Pathway outlines national priorities and actions toward more sustainable consumption and production, both domestically and internationally.
Since its adoption, Switzerland has further refined this framework through new strategic documents—including the Agriculture and Food Climate Strategy 2050, Swiss Nutrition Strategy 2025–2032, and the Action Plan against Food Waste, among others.
This updated version of the National Pathway highlights progress made during the first three years and sets out next steps toward a resilient, equitable, and sustainable food system.
By 2030, Switzerland aims to achieve key milestones: moving toward net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, halting biodiversity loss, and eradicating hunger and all forms of malnutrition—while ensuring that environmental, social, and economic dimensions of sustainability are balanced and integrated.
