Abstract
The research paper strives to answer the following question: Global institutions and professionals in the food system: is there a shared vision on the systemic change toward sustainability? First, the literature review portrays how the systemic problems and possible solutions are seen by the global organizations related to the food system. Next, the results of the qualitative research present insiders' perspectives on the same topics in the form of the expertise of professionals from different food system dimensions. Then the paper describes the similarities and contrasts between the global organizations’ review of the food system and that of the professionals working in it. The paper's main findings lie in the significant convergence of views of global organizations and food system professionals on the scale of the problems and urgency of action required. However, the paper also points out the large incompatibility of the views regarding solutions for the systemic transition towards sustainability. The main difference in the solutions is that the professionals focus on tackling the root causes of the systemic problems while the global organizations concentrate on improving the current state of the problems.
