This is a complex systems map depicting the full breadth of interactions within a food system, highlighting global environmental change impact, focusing on on the activities in the value chain.

Strengths:

• Provides a detailed view capturing the relationships between drivers and feedbacks.

• Demonstrates the value of specifying details like specific drivers and outcomes.

Weaknesses:

• Requires the sharing of the context and purpose of why the food system map was developed.

• Developing implementation pathways can be difficult because of the complexity of the system.

Useful for:

• Identifying complex feedback loops and their impact on policy and action development.

• Conducting detailed analysis of the impact of drivers on food system activities and actors.
