FOOD SYSTEMS AND CLIMATE CHANGE: STRATEGIES FOR TRANSITIONING TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
Food systems consist of all the actors and activities involved in the production, aggregation, processing, distribution, consumption, and disposal of food products originating from agriculture, forestry, fisheries, food industries, and the economic, societal, social, and natural sectors involved.The concept described above emphasizes the scale and complexity of these systems, which involve the entire food chain and are central to human needs. However, while it is intuitive to consider food systems as essential for human life, it is less immediate to identify the interdependence between climate and food systems.
