Sustainable food systems for food security: Need for combination of local and global approaches - Paperback

by Alban Thomas (Author), Arlène Alpha (Author), Aleksandra Barczak (Author)

Food and nutritional security refers to the challenge of providing sustainable, healthy and accessible food to all people. From 2014 to 2020, CIRAD and INRAE led an ambitious interdisciplinary flagship programme on the transitions for global food security called GloFoodS. This book explores issues such as food system governance, balance and discrepancies between agricultural supply and food needs, the role of innovations in providing high-quality foods and promoting resilient value chains, and the role of local resource management in achieving food security.
