Abstract

The current global food system still prioritizes efficiency and profitability, which is unstable. Especially confronted with the impact of COVID-19, the uncertainty further increases. Therefore, with an attempt to establish a food system optimization model prioritizing equity and sustainability, we proceed as follows. Firstly, we use the integrated entropy weight method (EWM) and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to establish the SEPE model to evaluate the priority of four aspects: efficiency, profitability, sustainability and equity. Then, in order to achieve the goal of maximizing the score of equity and sustainability, we establish GOV model based on linear regression to simulate the optimization measures in food system. Then, We take Germany and Jordan as examples for model application. For Germany, the optimization time is 12 years, the proportion of optimization cost in GDP is 6.5% (279.5 billion dollars), and the malnutrition rate is 0.00034% close to 0. For Jordan, the optimization time is 8 years, the optimization cost accounts for 120% of GDP (85.75 billion dollars), and the malnutrition rate drops to 3.3% remaining at a low level. The results show that developing countries are at a low disadvantage, which calls for international cooperation and humanitarian assistance.
