Abstract

Food systems are deeply affected by climate change and air pollution, while being key contributors to these environmental challenges. Understanding the complex interactions among food systems, climate change, and air pollution is crucial for mitigating climate change, improving air quality, and promoting the sustainable development of food systems. However, the literature lacks a comprehensive review of these interactions, particularly in the current phase of rapid development in the field. To address this gap, this study systematically reviews recent research on the impacts of climate change and air pollution on food systems, as well as the greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions from agri-food systems and their contribution to global climate change and air pollution. In addition, this study summarizes various strategies for mitigation and adaptation, including adjustments in agricultural practices and food supply chains. Profound changes in food systems are urgently needed to enhance adaptability and reduce emissions. This review offers a critical overview of current research on the interactions among food systems, climate change, and air pollution and highlights future research directions to support the transition to sustainable food systems.

粮食系统、气候变化和空气污染之间的相互作用：综述

粮食系统深受气候变化和空气污染的影响，同时也是造成这些环境挑战的主要因素。了解粮食系统、气候变化和空气污染之间复杂的相互作用对于减缓气候变化、改善空气质量和促进粮食系统的可持续发展至关重要。然而，文献缺乏对这些相互作用的全面回顾，特别是在该领域快速发展的当前阶段。为了弥补这一差距，本研究系统地回顾了最近关于气候变化和空气污染对粮食系统影响的研究，以及农业粮食系统的温室气体和空气污染物排放及其对全球气候变化和空气污染的贡献。此外，本研究总结了各种缓解和适应战略，包括调整农业做法和粮食供应链。迫切需要对粮食系统进行深刻变革，以增强适应性和减少排放。本文综述了当前粮食系统、气候变化和空气污染之间相互作用的研究，并强调了未来的研究方向，以支持向可持续粮食系统的过渡。
