Society	Societal impacts	None	Social impacts encompass the outcomes resulting from the interactions between society and the food system. It includes, among others, indicators related to employment and animal welfare, among others.
Health	Health impacts	None	Health impacts from especially diets. It includes, among others, indicators related to food safety, burden of disease, number of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) related to diets, adherence to food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs), among others.
FoodSecurity	Food security	None	Food security refers to the availability, accessibility (food affordability), and utilisation of sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life, for all people, now and in the future. It encompasses the environmental, economic, social and health outcomes.
Resilience	Resilience	None	Resilience refers to the capacity of food systems to withstand, adapt to, and recover from shocks and stresses (e.g. climate change, economic crises, conflict), while continuing to function in a sustainable and equitable way. It includes the structural conditions, policies, and governance mechanisms that enable stable and healthy food supplies now and in the future. A resilient food system provides food that is ecologically sustainable, socially just, and economically viable. It ensures continued access to healthy food for all, supports sustainable production and consumption patterns, and strengthens the ability of communities and institutions to cope with uncertainty and long-term change.
