The world of politics and academia has learned to listen carefully to the recommendations of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) as important bodies to stimulate policy. They provide target measures for reaching goals on climate change and biodiversity which help to formulate appropriate measures of states. They also specify indicators for reaching the overall goals of the Sustainable Development framework (SDGs). The question arises, though, whether the world needs a similar effort in regard food security. The COVID-19 pandemic was just the latest reminder how the global food system affects various other systems as for instance climate change and biodiversity. But public health, economy, social cohesion, politics, and cultural values are similarly affected. Most assessments of our food systems agree that radical changes in our food system are required if we want to reach the SDG targets. This talk presents and discusses the recommendations recently advanced by the Academia Europeae to establish an Intergovernmental Panel on Food Security and Sustainability (IPFSS) and explains why a global target of a Human Trophical Level (HTL) of 2.0 might be one indicator to include.
