Abstract

The chapter presents a nuanced understanding of equitable partnerships for global goals (SDG17) and concludes the companion. We begin with a theoretical understanding of why current governance approaches to equitable partnerships fail to deliver anything meaningful, with a particular focus on the inertia of incumbent actors for transformative change. Then, we discussed the seven domains of partnership identified in SDG 17 to discuss what governance approaches may work and what disruptions are needed to unlock the incumbency and power relationships that prevent food system transformations. In conclusion, we summarize how this companion provides specific and evidence-based insights to develop more performative post-2030 agenda for just and sustainable food system transformations.
