Local pathways to sustainable food systems

Abstract

The food system needs transformation in order to reduce waste and conserve biodiversity while adapting to and mitigating impacts of climate change. Urban spaces and local communities are crucial arenas where such transition is being shaped, involving actors who have not traditionally engaged in developing food policies. How and when do food-related issues emerge on the local policy agenda? What elements of the food system are being addressed? Which actors drive these changes? And which factors explain local successes, and how can others learn from this? This panel welcomes papers focusing on local and urban pathways to more sustainable food systems, through a plurality of methods and approaches.
