Abstract Background: Promoting healthy, sustainable diets has become an important social goal. Governments and businesses are increasing measures aimed at promoting a healthy diet. However, a variety of data indicates that a healthy diet is far from being attained. Scope and approach: Our principal thesis is that ‘conflictive’ relationships among actors in the agri-food system form one of the main barriers to achieving a healthy diet. We analyzed changes that have taken place in the agri-food system and how these affected the foundations of conventional models for food governance, enabling and giving rise to innovative forms of food governance. Then, we examined some of the initiatives developed by traditional actors in the agri-food system to address the demands of “more aware” consumers and explored the contradictory results obtained so far. Key findings and conclusions: Development of healthy, sustainable diets for all requires consensus among the different actors in the agri-food system. However, such a goal is not easy to attain within a framework of governance characterized by complexity, asymmetry, and conflicts among these actors. The conflicts are rooted in a disconnection between the needs and demands of consumers and the ways in which public and private actors deal with the requirements of “more aware” consumers. Promoting a healthy diet depends, to a great extent, on the creation of a framework of relationships in the agri-food system and different connections among the actors to replace the current conflicting ones.
