Abstract
The overarching vision of the Cambodia's Roadmap for Food Systems for Sustainable Development 2030 is: By 2030, all Cambodians will have access to healthy diets and safe food, with an initial focus on women and children, to break the intergenerational cycle of malnutrition and address the nutrition transition. Food systems will nourish Cambodia’s population, strengthen local production and distribution, generate domestic and international opportunities for trade and enterprise, offer equitable livelihoods especially for youth, be resilient to vulnerabilities, shocks and stresses, steward the environment, and help mitigate and adapt to climate change by shifting the food system towards green growth.
To operationalize this vision, the roadmap targets four distinct priority action areas: 1. Healthy diets for all; 2. Empowerment of youth, women and the vulnerable; 3. Resilient livelihoods and resilient food systems; 4. Governance for a more inclusive food system. Specific measures detail "game changers" to be executed by 2025 and 2030, including the construction of modernized model markets to demonstrate food safety, the regulation of food marketing, and the expansion of cash-transfer and home-grown school feeding programs. Furthermore, the document mandates vocational training adaptations and the deployment of digitalized information tracking systems to systematically ensure that the broader agricultural value chains shift toward sustainable green growth.
