ABSTRACT The global agri‐food system faces major challenges in meeting the growing demand for food an equitable way while mitigating environmental impacts such as deforestation, soil degradation, and climate change. Over past few decades, voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) have proliferated a potential instrument to promote more sustainable value chains sourcing practices. Although body of impact evaluations on VSS has grown, most studies focus single outcome dimensions, leaving interactions between dimensions underexplored. In this study, we use conceptual framework assess relationships interventions key outcomes across multiple dimensions. Our study focuses economic prosperity, healthy ecosystems, gender equality, security, with particular emphasis identifying trade‐offs synergies these To illustrate identified our framework, present empirical data from three case Ghana, Rwanda, Peru. findings underscore importance balancing fostering advance This contributes ongoing discussions effectiveness promoting by highlighting their impacts, well that must be managed, achieve systems.

Abstract Food trade is generally perceived to increase the availability and diversity of foods available consumers, but there little empirical evidence on its implications for human health. Here we show that a substantial proportion dietary risks diet-related mortality worldwide attributable international food whether contributions are positive or negative depends types traded. Using bilateral data 2019 food-specific risk–disease relationships, estimate imports fruits, vegetables, legumes nuts improved in importing countries were associated with reduction from non-communicable diseases ~1.4 million deaths globally. By contrast, red meat aggravated an ~150,000 deaths. The magnitude our findings suggests considering impacts will become important aspect health-sensitive agriculture policies, policy responses disruptions chains.
