Ce rapport examine comment les modifications du fonctionnement des secteurs alimentaires et agricoles à travers le monde peuvent contribuer à réduire la faim et à atteindre la sécurité alimentaire mondiale. Le défi est de grande ampleur et multidimensionnel. Tandis que la production alimentaire répondra aux demandes d'une population mondiale croissante et plus aisée, des politiques gouvernementales efficaces peuvent stimuler la productivité et contenir la pression à la hausse sur les prix des denrées alimentaires. Elles peuvent également aider à faire en sorte que les ressources en terre et en eau soient utilisées de manière plus durable, et à ce que les agriculteurs aient la capactité de gérer les risques et de s'adapter au changement climatique. Les échanges auront un rôle important à jouer pour garantir une utilisation efficace et durable des ressources, et pour distribuer les excédents de denrées alimentaires aux régions déficitaires. Parallèlement, des réformes multilatérales sont nécessaires pour garantir un système mondial des échanges plus efficace et plus juste qu'auparavant. Environ deux tiers de la population pauvre mondiale vit dans des régions rurales, où l'agriculture est la principale activité économique. Ce rapport examine comment les politiques gouvernementales peuvent augmenter les revenus des familles agricoles et rurales, et ainsi améliorer l'accès aux denrées alimentaires de la population pauvre. Bien que la croissance des revenus soit essentielle à la sécurité alimentaire à long terme, elle n'est pas suffisante. Des politiques complémentaires, comme l'amélioration de la santé et de l'assainissement, sont requises pour garantir une meilleure alimentation de la population. Il faut donc prendre des mesures à de nombreux niveaux. Ce rapport a pour objectif d'aider les responsables politiques à établir des priorités au niveau mondial, régional et national.

After steadily declining for over a decade, global hunger is on the rise again, while various forms of malnutrition coexist. Climate change is already exacerbating this grim picture, which is why food security and food production will be a major focus of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 6th Assessment Cycle. Thanks to the participation of 250 experts from all around the world, the International Symposium on Food Security and Nutrition in the Age of Climate Change highlighted the importance of food and agricultural systems in the fight against climate change and presented concrete multi-sector solutions to address this global issue. The event placed special emphasis on the regional realities of West Africa and the Canadian North, as well as to the presence of young people and members of Indigenous and Northern communities directly affected by these issues. The summaries of these four days of plenaries, interactive workshops, and special events have been grouped under seven major themes for this publication: 1) Climate change, food security and nutrition: the issues; (2) The agriculture sectors in the context of climate change; (3) Food systems in the face of climate change; (4) Natural resources: challenges and solutions; (5) Food security and nutrition in a changing North; (6) Summary of solutions; (7) Strengthening and adapting regional and international cooperation.

As people increasingly migrate to urban settings and more than half of the world's population now lives in cities, it is vital to plan and provide for sustainable and resilient food systems which reflect this challenge. This volume presents experience and evidence-based "state of the art" chapters on the key dimensions of urban food challenges and types of intra- and peri-urban agriculture. The book provides urban planners, local policy makers and urban development practitioners with an overview of crucial aspects of urban food systems based on an up to date review of research results and practical experiences in both developed and developing countries. By doing so, the international team of authors provides a balanced textbook for students of the growing number of courses on sustainable agriculture, food and urban studies, as well as a solid basis for well-informed policy making, planning and implementation regarding the development of sustainable, resilient and just urban food systems.

As western-style food systems extend further around the world, food sustainability is becoming an increasingly important issue. Such systems are not sustainable in terms of their consumption of resources, their impact on ecosystems or their effect on health and social inequality. From 2009 to 2011, the duALIne project, led by INRA and CIRAD, assembled a team of experts to investigate food systems downstream of the farm, from the farm gate, to consumption and the disposal of waste. Representing a diverse range of backgrounds spanning academia and the public and private sectors, the project aimed to review the international literature and identify major gaps in our knowledge. This book brings together its key conclusions and insights, presenting state-of-the-art research in food sustainability and identifying priority areas for further study. It will provide a valuable resource for researchers, decision-makers and stakeholders in the food industry.
