Abstract

After steadily declining for years on a global level, food crises driven by conflict, climate extremes and economic downturns have marked an increase in the number of people who face hunger and malnutrition since 2015. Food crises are leading countries far off-track from achieving food security and improved nutrition by 2030, as set out in Sustainable Development Goal 2. Conventional approaches to rural transformation driven by enhanced agricultural productivity have not rendered the needed results, heading the call for inclusive agrifood system transformation that focuses on resilience, particularly in crisis contexts. However, obstacles such as fragile institutions, conflict and violence and recurring shocks and stresses hinder investing in crisis contexts and threaten transformation pathways in agrifood systems. This paper describes synergies between humanitarian, development, peace and climate interventions that can be leveraged to direct investments in a comprehensive set of resilience building interventions along the agricultural sectors and food system livelihoods to contribute to sustainably address hunger and malnutrition in food crisis countries.

在粮食危机背景下建立有抵御力的农业粮食系统的挑战和机遇

在全球范围内，粮食危机在持续多年下降之后，由冲突、极端气候和经济衰退引发的粮食危机标志着自2015年以来面临饥饿和营养不良的人数有所增加。粮食危机导致各国远远偏离了可持续发展目标 2 提出的到 2030 年实现粮食安全和改善营养状况的轨道。以提高农业生产率为驱动力的传统农村转型方法并未取得所需的成果，因此呼吁进行以复原力为重点的包容性农粮系统转型，尤其是在危机情况下。然而，脆弱的机构、冲突和暴力以及反复出现的冲击和压力等障碍阻碍了在危机背景下的投资，并威胁着农粮系统的转型途径。本文介绍了人道主义、发展、和平与气候干预措施之间的协同作用，可利用这些协同作用引导对农业部门和粮食系统生计方面的一整套复原力建设干预措施进行投资，从而为可持续地解决粮食危机国家的饥饿和营养不良问题做出贡献。

期刊介绍： Global Food Security plays a vital role in addressing food security challenges from local to global levels. To secure food systems, it emphasizes multifaceted actions considering technological, biophysical, institutional, economic, social, and political factors. The goal is to foster food systems that meet nutritional needs, preserve the environment, support livelihoods, tackle climate change, and diminish inequalities. This journal serves as a platform for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to access and engage with recent, diverse research and perspectives on achieving sustainable food security globally. It aspires to be an internationally recognized resource presenting cutting-edge insights in an accessible manner to a broad audience.
