Food Systems and Biodiversity in the Context of Environmental and Climate Risks
Part of the CERES publication series, this book explores the critical nexus between food systems, biodiversity, and climate resilience. Through a multi-regional analysis, it examines how environmental and climate changes—driven by unsustainable agriculture, land-use shifts, and pollution—disrupt ecosystems and threaten food security. Grounded in empirical research, particularly from Asia and Africa, it highlights biodiversity’s role in sustaining food systems and presents nature-based solutions such as agroecology, land restoration, and the integration of traditional knowledge with scientific innovation. A valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners, this volume takes a systems-based approach to managing trade-offs, fostering synergies, and driving sustainable food and climate strategies.
Food Security and Climate-Smart Food Systems
The resilience of food systems and security to emerging challenges and threats, especially in the context of environmental and climate risks and global pandemics such as the Covid-19 crisis, is currently gaining growing importance in research, policy, and practice. Based on this, the core focus of this book, as a part of a series of CERES publications, consists of identifiying and exploring the best ways to overcome such challenges and shocks and to build resilience in the Global South. More precisely, the book analyzes current dynamics and trends related to the climate resilience of food security and assess the relevance of emerging approaches such as climate-smart agriculture, new roles of agriculture extension, smart farming, and climate adaptation of farming systems.The book includes both conceptual and empirical research reporting lessons learned from many geographical, environmental, social, and policy settings while focusing on Africa, Middle East, and Asia. It also provides research and policy-oriented inputs and recommendations to guide change processes at multiple scales.
