The conference will address the food system
activities of production (crops, livestock) or
harvesting (freshwater and marine sources), processing,
distribution systems and consumption behavior and the
synergies and trade-offs between economic,
environmental, health and social objectives and
outcomes. It will provide a cross cutting view of
multiple disciplines and spatiotemporal scales of
analysis to span the drivers, activities and outcomes of
food systems to reflect on the broad challenge of food
security.
