Resilience Food Systems

Global Food System: Network of Activities and processes from production to consumption

Problems:

• Biodiversity Loss

• GHG Emissions

• Water Use

• Inefficient

• Inequal distribution

• But: high productivity

=> calls for more resilience + transformation

Undesirable constraints:

• knowledge

  • About Effects on nature

• Investment

  • „First mover disadvantage“

• policies

  • Subsidies / tariffs

  • Unpopular price hikes

• Sociocultural

  • expectation cheap food

  • Direct costs not in price

• Biophysical

  • Water and chemcial use

= undesirable resilience

Change:

• occurs most often in crisis

  • „window of opportunity“

• without rebound
