“…Scaling technology such as GIFT requires an approach which is inclusive and reflects the targets of the UNs Sustainable Development Goals (United Nations, 2015). Efforts to increase GIFT adoption and production in Bangladesh should focus on improving producer livelihoods and promoting sustainable, nutrition‐sensitive food systems (Gómez & Ricketts, 2013; Ingram & Zurek, 2018; Tezzo et al, 2020).…”

“…Efforts to increase GIFT adoption and production in Bangladesh should focus on improving producer livelihoods and promoting sustainable, nutrition-sensitive food systems (Gómez & Ricketts, 2013;Ingram & Zurek, 2018;Tezzo et al, 2020). Lewis (1997) suggested initiatives in Bangladesh aimed at improving the aquaculture sector did not focus on the resource poor but instead aimed at increasing production of expensive fish rather than improving food security and equity.…”

“…Mapping the 'big picture' of food commodities or challenges allows for the exploration of the many challenges and opportunities available in a methodological and structured way (Ingram 2011). Figure 1 shows the food system framing developed by the Foresight4Food Initiative that integrates key systems concepts from Ingram and Zurek (2018) and 'Making Markets work for the Poor' (Springfield Centre 2015).…”

“…These actors and their associated activities are all interconnected. 'Core' food system activities are influenced by drivers within social, political, economic, environmental, and natural realms (Van Berkum et al 2018, Ingram & Zurek 2018, and supported by processes such as regulations, standards, communications, and logistics. These activities profoundly affect food and nutrition security, environmental sustainability, and social and economic well-being (HLPE 2017).…”

Climate change poses unprecedented and complex challenges to global food systems. Critical vulnerabilities, continuing inequalities, and unsustainability have demonstrated that food systems need significant intervention in order to deliver safe, just, and healthy food for all, against the backdrop of a changing climate. Innovative interventions and effective financing are needed across the food system to achieve these grand ambitions. While there is recognition of a systems approach in the face of complex issues such as climate change, interventions and financing mechanisms have historically focused narrowly on production or specific sectors within food and related systems. Given the diverse array of stresses and shocks, this approach will not achieve the desired paradigm shifts necessary to secure global food systems and meet the Paris Agreement climate targets. Through a comprehensive review of projects funded through the Green Climate Fund (GCF), this paper shows that paradigm shifting interventions can benefit from a food systems perspective by moving beyond specific sectors and activities and delivering outcomes across the socio-economic and environmental spheres. Climate change and food system challenges are complex and necessitate system approaches, and financing instruments need to be designed and structured with systemic complexity in mind.

“…Thus, food systems today are seen as complex social-ecological systems (SES) (1) operating across multiple levels on spatial, temporal, and jurisdictional scales (2-4). Their actors are driven by multiple driving forces, and food systems result in numerous important outcomes, ranging from food and nutrition security to environmental, economic, and social impacts (5). Their complexity makes food systems vulnerable to a wide array of shocks and stresses (6), which can individually or interactively impact single or multiple points across the system, with the COVID-19 pandemic laying bare many of the pinch points in the system (7).…”

Food system resilience has multiple dimensions. We draw on food system and resilience concepts and review resilience framings of different communities. We present four questions to frame food system resilience (Resilience of what? Resilience to what? Resilience from whose perspective? Resilience for how long?) and three approaches to enhancing resilience (robustness, recovery, and reorientation—the three “Rs”). We focus on enhancing resilience of food system outcomes and argue this will require food system actors adapting their activities, noting that activities do not change spontaneously but in response to a change in drivers: an opportunity or a threat. However, operationalizing resilience enhancement involves normative choices and will result in decisions having to be negotiated about trade-offs among food system outcomes for different stakeholders. New approaches to including different food system actors’ perceptions and goals are needed to build food systems that are better positioned to address challenges of the future. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Environment and Resources, Volume 47 is October 2022.
