Transformations of Global Food Systems for Climate Change
Resilience: Addressing Food Security, Nutrition, and Health
provides poignant case studies of climate change resilience
frameworks for nutrition-focused transformations of agriculture and
food systems, food security, food sovereignty, and population
health of underserved and marginalized communities from across the
globe. Each chapter is drawn from diverse cultural contexts and
geographic areas, addressing local challenges of ongoing food and
health system transformations and illustrating forms of resistance,
resilience, and adaptations of food systems to climate change.
Fourteen chapters present global case studies, which directly
address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the
Food and Agriculture Organization’s global call to action for
transforming agriculture, addressing food security and nutrition,
and the health of populations impacted by climate change and public
health issues.They also integrate reflections, insights, and
experiences resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic. This edited
volume includes research on (1) enhancing food sovereignty and food
security for underserved populations with a particular focus on
indigenous peoples; (2) improving locally contextualized
definitions and measurements of climate change resilience, food
security, hunger, nutrition, and health; (3) informing public
health programs and policies for population health and nutrition;
and (4) facilitating public and policy discourse on sustainable
futures for community health and nutrition in the face of climate
change and natural disasters, including ongoing and future
pandemics or emergencies. Within this book, readers discover an
array of approaches by the authors that exemplify the mutually
engaged and reciprocal partnerships that are community-driven and
support the positive transformation of the people with whom they
work. By doing so, this book informs and drives a global
sustainable future of scholarship and policy that is tied to the
intersectionality and synergisms of climate change resilience, food
security, food sovereignty, nutrition, and community health.
