Food production in times of climate change

Abstract

There is consensus that agricultural production – especially livestock farming – has a significant impact on the climate. Established patterns of food production need to be transformed to adapt to and mitigate the impact of climate change. Sustainable transformation strategies must also take into account animal welfare considerations, which highlights the complexity of the endeavour. This Panel addresses these debates at the intersection of climate, environmental, animal welfare and agricultural policymaking: How do policymakers in different countries integrate climate concerns in agricultural policymaking and which policy instruments are applied? (How) do these policies integrate animal welfare and biodiversity issues? How can such policymaking be grouped along theoretical considerations and empirical patterns? Which actors advocate or oppose food innovations and how can we explain their strategies and success?
