Adapting a social-ecological resilience framework for food systems

Abstract: The purpose of applying social-ecological resilience thinking to food systems is twofold: First, to define those factors that help achieve a state in which food security for all and at all scales is possible. Second, to provide insights into how to maintain the system in this desirable regime. However, the resilience of food systems is distinct from the broader conceptualizations of resilience in social-ecological systems because of the fundamentally normative nature of food systems: humans need food to surviv… Show more

“…The role of diversity for resilience Diversity, in certain forms, was considered to be important for resilience by our Delphi panel, in accordance with previous research (e.g., Carpenter et al 2012, Hodbod andEakin 2015). Modularity, namely diverse connectedness, has been suggested earlier as being an effective buffer from economic crises (May et al 2008).…”

“…Open-ended questions were also used for gathering the panelists' perspectives on the role of diversity for the adaptive capacity of food systems. Diversity has been suggested as one major influence of adaptive capacity and resilience for farming (Lin 2011), food systems (Hodbod and Eakin 2015), adaptive networks in social-ecological systems (Norberg et al 2008), and general resilience (Carpenter et al 2012). Therefore, we asked panelists about (1) the positive and negative aspects of diversity at different levels and operations within the food system, (2) the level at which diversity has the largest and smallest roles (if any role at all), (3) what type of diversity is the most meaningful when thinking of adaptive capacity, and (4) the impacts of concentration and effective coordination versus diversification and the specific actions that these are important for in food systems.…”
