Food systems involve a range of activities concerning food
production, processing, distribution, marketing and trade,
preparation, consumption and disposal. They encompass the path of
food from the farm to the dinner table, meeting the food and
nutritional needs of a nation. When such systems do so without
sacrificing the needs of future generations, they are referred to
as "Sustainable Food Systems." The natural and physical
environment, infrastructure, institutions, society and culture, and
policies and regulations within which they operate, as well as the
technologies they adopt, shape these systems' outcomes. Making food
systems more sustainable is a key priority for all nations, and Sri
Lanka is no exception. Food systems deliver optimal performance
when the policy and regulatory environment is conducive,
institutions are supportive, and a combination of agricultural
research investments and an efficient extension system generates
the technologies and scientific evidence required for sound
policymaking and agenda setting. Further, agricultural research can
generate essential findings, technologies and policies for
sustainable agricultural development - across disciplines, sectors
and stakeholder groups. This book shares valuable insights into
research conducted in the broad food and agriculture sectors in Sri
Lanka. It also discusses the status quo in related disciplines, and
outlines future research directions. Accordingly, it offers a
valuable source of reference material for researchers, students,
and stakeholders in the food and agriculture sectors, while also
highlighting the types of support that policymakers and other
decision-makers can provide.
