Abstract
Food poses a massive challenge globally. Many people are either food insecure or suffering from nutritional problems, including overconsumption. At the same time, the fulfilling of growing food demand has enormous environmental impacts. In this chapter, we urge individuals and organisations around the world to start looking at everything to do with food as interconnected, taking a ‘food systems’ perspective to start solving the deeper problems. Using hopeful and powerful examples, we show how looking at food systems can help transform food economics, politics, technologies, habits, and cultures.
