Interconnection of Sustainable Food Systems andDeterminants of Health: A Multidimensional Approach toAchieving Zero Hunger and Well-being

Abstract

The global food system faces complex challenges with 821 million people still experiencing hunger despite theoretically sufficient food production. This study analyzes the relationship between food systems
and people’s well-being using a systematic literature review with the PRISMA approach. The results
identify five main dimensions that influence well-being: food availability, economic access, food quality and safety, environmental sustainability, and socio-cultural aspects. The analysis shows the need
for a multidimensional approach that integrates agroecological production system transformation, strengthening local food systems, coherent food policies, consumer empowerment, and principles of food
equity and sovereignty. Implementation of this approach requires multi-stakeholder collaboration to
overcome the challenges of conflicting interests, policy fragmentation, and capacity gaps in achieving
Zero Hunger and optimal well-being.
