CoFTI - Coalition for Food-Systems Transformation in India

Coalition For Food Systems Transforma(c)tion In India

Towards Safe, Nutritions, and Sustainable Food for All

The Coalition for Food-Systems Transformation in India (CoFTI) was born out of the UN Food Systems Summit 2021 with a commitment to reshaping India’s food system so that safe and nutritious food is accessible to all. Its mission addresses hunger and malnutrition while championing biodiversity, climate resilience, and the protection of livelihoods. By bringing together diverse stakeholders, CoFTI works to create sustainable and equitable solutions that balance the needs of people, planet, and economy. Grounded in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Coalition drives positive change across seven key areas of work, ensuring that India’s food systems remain resilient for both present and future generations.

CoFTI’s approach is anchored in three core objectives. First, Thought Leadership—using research, innovation, and evidence-based insights to shape effective policies and guide their implementation. Second, Collective Action—offering a collaborative space where stakeholders can unite, share resources, and work together across its areas of focus. Third, Building Connections—fostering strong local and international networks to enable the exchange of knowledge and strengthen partnerships. Through these objectives, CoFTI serves as both a catalyst and a convener, ensuring that India’s journey towards a just, sustainable, and nourishing food future is grounded in shared purpose and actionable solutions.
