摘要

The global food system, including Ethiopia’s, faces major challenges in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). Progress is constrained by persistent food insecurity, malnutrition, high postharvest losses, and climate change impacts. In response, the United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) urged member states to adopt a holistic food systems approach. This narrative review synthesizes evidence from peer-reviewed literature, policy documents, and institutional reports published between 2007 and 2026 to provide an integrated understanding of Ethiopia’s food system challenges and transformation pathways. Major databases searched included Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar, complemented by targeted searches of FAO, WHO, World Bank, IFPRI, and Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Institute (ATI) repositories. Records were screened by title, abstract, and full-text assessment, with data organized thematically around key food system dimensions. Evidence was mapped to the UNFSS action tracks and Ethiopia’s food system pathway to generate policy recommendations. The review highlights Ethiopia’s food system transformation pathway, structured around five action tracks, seven clusters, and 24 game-changing solutions, addressing systemic barriers in access to nutritious foods, sustainable production, climate resilience, market access, and social protection. National initiatives such as the Green Legacy, National Enset Development Flagship, National Wheat Flagship Program, and Yelemat Tirufat (Bounty of Basket) provide entry points to strengthen self-sufficiency, food safety, and climate adaptation. Policy recommendations emphasize coordinated governance, inclusive community and private sector engagement, and targeted interventions linked to evidence strength and implementation feasibility. By enhancing food access, shifting consumption patterns, promoting sustainable production, advancing equitable livelihoods, and building resilience to climate and socio-economic shocks, Ethiopia seeks to improve food security, nutrition, and sustainability, while contributing meaningfully to global SDG efforts by 2030.
