Food Systems and Biodiversity in the Context of Environmental and Climate Risks
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-89166-3 (ISBN)
Part of the CERES publication series, this book explores the critical nexus between food systems, biodiversity, and climate resilience. Through a multi-regional analysis, it examines how environmental and climate changes driven by unsustainable agriculture, land-use shifts, and pollution disrupt ecosystems and threaten food security.
Grounded in empirical research, particularly from Asia and Africa, it highlights biodiversity s role in sustaining food systems and presents nature-based solutions such as agroecology, land restoration, and the integration of traditional knowledge with scientific innovation.
A valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners, this volume takes a systems-based approach to managing trade-offs, fostering synergies, and driving sustainable food and climate strategies.
