Reframing the local–global food systems debate through a resilience lens

Abstract

Paper summary generated by OpenAI: This paper addresses the ongoing debate surrounding local versus global food systems by introducing a resilience framework to better understand and manage food system challenges. The authors identify four critical ‘aching points’ that highlight tensions within the local-global discourse and apply seven principles of resilience to these issues. By reframing the conversation through a resilience lens, the study proposes transformative pathways for governance and management that can enhance sustainability across food systems. Ultimately, the findings advocate for a more integrated approach that recognizes the complexity and interconnectivity of food systems at all scales.
