The world’s food system is complex, highly interconnected and rapidly evolving. Attendant risks are poorly understood. A new study reveals important insight into how interconnectedness, structure and modularity of the global food network impact system resilience. This is a preview of subscription ...

Food security is of great importance to China, Yan noted, adding that one way to solve problems with the availability of enough food for everyone in a country to live healthy lives is with the grain in the ground and another is with technology. China leads the world b...
Energy and food security are the key issues of Global Development Initiative.Since 2022, the compounding crises of Russia-Ukraine conflict, Covid pandemic and climate change have added burdens to global governance, and hindered the ...
Today’s domestic US food production is the result of an industry optimized for competitive, high yielding, and high-growth production for a globalized market. Yet, industry growth may weaken food system resilience to abrupt disruptions by reducing the diversity of food supply sources. In this pap...
Due to complex interactions, changes in any one area of food systems are likely to impact—and possibly depend on—changes in other areas. Here we present the first annual monitoring update of the indicator framework proposed by the Food Systems Countdow
Modern food systems face global drivers such as climate change, a growing population, urbanization, and economic crises affecting food prices. In addition possible peak oil costs, structural changes in food systems such as homogenization and concentration, and diminishing natural resources also entail ch...
Connecting resilience, food security and climate change: lessons from flooding in Queensland, Australia The Australian food system is often assumed to be largely secure in the face of global environmental challenges such as climate change. In 2010/2011, serio... A Macmahon,K Smith,G Lawrence -...
food production. We find that the resilience of the system may either increase or decrease with the network’s interconnectedness and modularity, depending on the network structure. Global food trade exhibits a heterogeneous structure and its resilience is decreasing with the increase in connectivity ...
