How to validate authenticity

Validation that this is an official OECD website can be found on the Innovative Government page of the corporate OECD website.

This cookbook of strategies for change is about the role that a strong public innovation system plays along the pathways towards sustainable food systems.

The publishers demonstrate this through a mission approach for deliberate food system transformation that can support people, planet and society. This strategy cookbook includes templates for developing interventions, guides for how to get started and examples of cross-cutting projects – that can be used to create recipes for change. The publishers suggest this approach to work with complex and dynamic systems.

The cookbook is intended primarily for national and regional innovation agencies, as the publishers believe that government has both a mandate and more authority than any other entity to lead the change needed to achieve sustainable food systems. However, because innovation ecosystems include a variety of different actors, this strategy cookbook also provides valuable insights into the roles that entrepreneurs and civil society and research organisations can play to cultivate change from the bottom-up.
