You are a global food policy coordinator. The current food system is failing:
hunger persists, obesity is rising, biodiversity is collapsing, and agriculture
contributes a third of all greenhouse gas emissions. Over 6 rounds (each
representing 5 years), you implement 23 food system measures drawn from research.
Every measure has benefits and trade-offs — and your political popularity determines
how many policy points you receive each round. Voters reward visible improvements and
punish crises, so you must balance long-term sustainability with near-term approval.

Popularity
Budget = mandate. Crises drain approval; progress earns it. Voters judge your policies directly.
The baseline trajectory depends on the socioeconomic pathway the world follows. Which scenario will you try to steer from?
SSP1 · EASY
Sustainability
A world of low challenges and high cooperation. Poverty and hunger are already declining. Climate policy is advancing. Your reforms build on a benign baseline.
🌍 Cross-Sector events (Energy Transition, Bioplastics, Timber Cities; and Demographic & Human Development in SSP2/3) appear as wildcards at each round's end, drawn automatically from your SSP scenario pool.

reduces mortality by 182 million life years/year and near-halves nitrogen surplus by 2050.
