Food security has been at the centre of global agriculture cooperation, but achieving it has resulted in a dichotomy where consumers are exposed to global foods, but traditional diversity of crops on the farm has dwindled and local communities’ food sovereignty has eroded. The problem is that food security and sovereignty are pitched against each other. This Policy Brief highlights how local food systems with regenerative farming practices can offer scalable alternatives to this deadlock. Several G20 presidencies have alluded to the importance of local food systems through the need for nature-positive, context-specific,andsmall-scalefriendly solutions. The Indian G20 presidency should strive to present a roadmap to mainstream such food systems. To do this, this Brief recommends repurposing existing agricultural support, catalysing sustainable food consumption choices, and facilitating this transformation through enablers.
