\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
Food systems analysis is based on the systematic appraisal of different underlying processes that influence food availability, access and utilisation, as well as a detailed analysis of the roles of different stakeholders involved. It requires a thorough understanding of the structure of food system and the dynamics of food system change over time and space. Key pillars for food system analysis are:



\begin{itemize}\item{Household disaggregation: focus on nutritional outcomes for individual consumers;
}



\item{Food interactions: focus on dietary intake based on combination of products;
}



\item{Multiple delivery pathways of food: through open markets, restaurants, retail \& food services
;}



\item{Multiple needs: specific consumer groups with particular demands and preferences.
}\end{itemize}







Taking stock of the experiences from the Wageningen Research knowledge base (KB) programme on Global Food \& Nutrition Systems, we outline three strategic research interfaces that are critical for steering research into this direction:



\begin{enumerate}\leftmargin=-8cm\item{Focus on Intersections: food systems are both horizontally and vertically structured, and their behaviour can be understood through systematic analysis of:
}



\begin{itemize}\item{Transition pathways from rural to (peri)urban food system;}



\item{Comparison between food systems at different development stages;}



\item{Food flows between agents (value chain) and in space (landscape)
.}\end{itemize}







\item{Understanding Interactions: food systems are based on upstream and downstream linkages that enable to reach system outcomes through remote interventions: 



\begin{itemize}\item{Food waste reduction at upstream level creating improved margins at downstream level;}



\item{Healthier diets through consumer targeting or by reinforcing food environment;
}



\item{Food safety assessment based on likelihood of risks.
}\end{itemize}} 







\item{Relying on clever Incentives : food systems change is supported by different incentives that simultaneously influence various -- sometimes opposed -- system outcomes:



\begin{itemize}\item{Production of healthier food might lead to reduced sustainability (increased energy use);
}



\item{Healthier food choices hardly respond to market incentives and more to social norms;
}



\item{Investments in waste management tend to increase market volume and lead to lower prices.
}\end{itemize}}



\end{enumerate}







This 3-I framework is useful to support exchange between academic disciplines and to guarantee engagement of multiple stakeholders.
