Synopsis

This book explores how food systems respond to mounting pressures of population growth, environmental change, and global market dynamics. Food Systems under Pressure - Local Practices, Risk Resilience, and Sustainability brings together case studies from Asia, Europe, and the Americas to show how local practices, institutional frameworks, and ecological realities shape the future of agriculture and food security. The chapters examine themes such as the role of local food systems in Japan, the modernization of Brazil’s beef chain, resilience strategies in the Republic of Moldova, and the economic logic of Canada’s dairy quota regime. Other contributions highlight systemic risks in the Lancang–Mekong region, the environmental costs of agricultural production, water allocation challenges in Hawai‘i, and due diligence reforms in Italy’s supply chains. The book will be valuable to researchers, policymakers, and practitioners seeking comparative insights into how food systems balance health, resilience, and sustainability under global stress.
