It brings together a collection of chapters authored by renowned experts recognized for their insightful yet critical perspectives on issues related to resilience and food security. The book conducts a rigorous and critical evaluation of the role of resilience in enhancing our understanding and capacity to develop and implement development interventions concerning food security and humanitarian crises. To achieve this, the book departs from the traditional paths followed by agriculture and trade, which have dominated the mainstream discourse on food security for nearly 60 years, and adopts a broader, more holistic perspective, centered around food systems.
The foundation for this innovative approach lies in the recognition that the food and nutritional security of the world's population in the current post-globalization era extends beyond the performance of agriculture and trade policies alone. Rather, it depends on the ability of the entire food system to produce, process, transport, and distribute safe, affordable, and nutritious food to all individuals, while also ensuring environmental sustainability.
In this regard, adopting a food system perspective becomes crucial as it encourages a departure from conventional thinking and recognizes the interconnectedness of the various processes and actors involved. This book is intended for a broad audience, encompassing academics, policymakers, students, and practitioners alike. By presenting a comprehensive and multidisciplinary exploration of resilience and food security, it aims to contribute to the ongoing dialogue and efforts to address these critical challenges.
