Den offentliga upphandlingens betydelse för enskilda nötköttsproducenter by Granefelt, Jenny, Wancke, Simon

Resilience and food security in a food systems context by Béné, Christophe, Devereux, Stephen

“…The foundation for this new approach is the recognition that in the current post-globalization era, the food and nutritional security of the world’s population no longer depends just on the performance of agriculture and policies on trade, but rather on the capacity of the entire (food) system to produce, process, transport and distribute safe, affordable and nutritious food for all, in ways that remain environmentally sustainable. In that context, adopting a food system perspective provides a more appropriate frame as it incites to broaden the conventional thinking and to acknowledge the systemic nature of the different processes and actors involved. …”
