Reframing Food Systems Resilience: Towards a Global Sustainable Development Agenda SDG 2 (Zero Hunger)

The food system includes all of the operations that go into growing, distributing, and preparing food as well as the labor force and other components needed to get a specific food item from the farm to the table. A food system's resilience is defined as its capacity to adjust and maintain the long-term provision of sufficient, suitable, and acceptable food for all individuals, even in the face of unforeseen disruptions. In a nutshell, it's about making sure food is always available despite continual disturbances. Disruptions can be man-made or natural, and they can manifest as stresses, which are slow degradations, or shocks, which are abrupt disturbances to the food chain. For instance, long-term droughts that function as stressors or extreme weather events that operate as shocks might result from climate change, progressively changing the environment and the food chain. This paper comprehensively explores the various dimensions of the food systems resilience towards a global Sustainable Development Agenda SDG 2 (Zero Hunger).
