Building Resilience to Vulnerabilities, Shocks and Stresses - a paper on Action Track 5

Global Food and Nutrition Security

This paper of the Scientific Group for the UN Food Systems Summit (2021) analyses that food systems are becoming increasingly global, dynamic, and complex. With this complexity, new and challenging risks are emerging, including technological accidents, infectious diseases, transportation hazards, cyber-attacks, product contamination, theft, and unexpected shutdowns of key supply chain nodes. Building resilience means that all people within a food system are empowered to prepare for, withstand, and recover from instability.
