Abstract

Global food supply chains are unprepared for the increasing number and severity of the expected environmental, social and economic shocks in the coming years. The price-setting process of commodities is directly impacted by such shocks, influencing consumer behavior regarding food choice and consumption. Both the market and advances in precision agriculture drive increased production and consumption. However, there has been a lack of consideration of how consumer behavior could be harnessed to mitigate such shocks through decreased consumption and reduced waste. The SAPPhIRE model of causality was applied to design sustainable and ecologically embedded futures derivatives that could have a role in affecting commodity markets. Multi-agent systems were combined with artificial intelligence and edge computing to provide the necessary functionality. The impact of war in Ukraine was used to exemplify the design of consumer “food choice” derivatives. This resulted in a mechanism to bring aggregated acts of consumer compassion and sustainability to commodities markets to mitigate food security shocks. When implementing food choice derivatives, care must be taken to ensure that consumer food choices are rational and compatible with individual nutritional needs and financial situations, and that the legitimate interests of agri-food businesses are protected.

众包食品安全:为可持续性引入食品选择衍生品

全球粮食供应链没有准备好应对未来几年预计将出现的越来越多、越来越严重的环境、社会和经济冲击。商品的定价过程直接受到这种冲击的影响，影响消费者的食品选择和消费行为。精准农业的市场和进步推动了生产和消费的增长。然而，缺乏对如何通过减少消费和减少浪费来利用消费者行为来减轻这种冲击的考虑。蓝宝石因果关系模型被应用于设计可持续和生态嵌入的期货衍生品，这些衍生品可能对商品市场产生影响。多智能体系统与人工智能和边缘计算相结合，提供必要的功能。乌克兰战争的影响被用来举例说明消费者“食品选择”衍生品的设计。这产生了一种机制，将消费者的同情心和可持续性的综合行为引入商品市场，以减轻粮食安全冲击。在实施食品选择衍生品时，必须注意确保消费者的食品选择是合理的，与个人营养需求和财务状况相适应，并保护农业食品企业的合法利益。

期刊介绍： Food Security is a wide audience, interdisciplinary, international journal dedicated to the procurement, access (economic and physical), and quality of food, in all its dimensions. Scales range from the individual to communities, and to the world food system. We strive to publish high-quality scientific articles, where quality includes, but is not limited to, the quality and clarity of text, and the validity of methods and approaches. Food Security is the initiative of a distinguished international group of scientists from different disciplines who hold a deep concern for the challenge of global food security, together with a vision of the power of shared knowledge as a means of meeting that challenge. To address the challenge of global food security, the journal seeks to address the constraints - physical, biological and socio-economic - which not only limit food production but also the ability of people to access a healthy diet. From this perspective, the journal covers the following areas: Global food needs: the mismatch between population and the ability to provide adequate nutrition Global food potential and global food production Natural constraints to satisfying global food needs: § Climate, climate variability, and climate change § Desertification and flooding § Natural disasters § Soils, soil quality and threats to soils, edaphic and other abiotic constraints to production § Biotic constraints to production, pathogens, pests, and weeds in their effects on sustainable production The sociological contexts of food production, access, quality, and consumption. Nutrition, food quality and food safety. Socio-political factors that impinge on the ability to satisfy global food needs: § Land, agricultural and food policy § International relations and trade § Access to food § Financial policy § Wars and ethnic unrest Research policies and priorities to ensure food security in its various dimensions.
