The food systems approach: sustainable solutions for a sufficient supply of healthy food
Berkum, Siemen van; Dengerink, Just; Ruben, Ruerd. 2018
A food systems approach (FSA) is a useful interdisciplinary conceptual framework for research and policy aimed at sustainable solutions for the sufficient supply of healthy food. An FSA analyses the relationships between the different parts of the food system and the outcomes of activities within the system in socio-economic and environmental/climate terms. Feedback loops are a distinguishing factor in systems thinking: they occur between parts of the food chain (production, processing, distribution and consumption) and from the socio-economic and environmental outcomes of food production and consumption (such as food security and soil depletion) back to that production and consumption. The FSA sheds light on non-linear processes in the food system, and on possible trade-offs between policy objectives. Systems thinking also broadens the perspective when seeking solutions for the root causes of problems such as poverty, malnutrition and climate change. The framework offers at least three benefits. First, it provides a checklist of topics that should at the very least be addressed when it comes to improving food security, certainly in relation to other policy objectives. Second, FSA helps to map the impact of environmental and climate changes on food security by pointing to the various vulnerabilities of the food system. In that sense the approach can contribute to the search for possibilities for strengthening the system’s resilience to climate changes. Third, it helps to determine the most limiting factors for achieving food security, and hence identify effective interventions aimed at improving food security.

Concepts and critical perspectives for food environment research: A global framework with implications for action in low- and middle-income countries
Turner, Christopher; Aggarwal, Anju; Walls, Helen; Herforth, Anna; Drewnowski, Adam; Coates, Jennifer; Kalamatianou, Sofia; Kadiyala, Suneetha. 2018
There is a need to create a cohesive research agenda to facilitate food environment research in low- and middle-income countries that face the double burden of undernutrition and obesity. A new paper from the Agriculture, Nutrition and Health Academy’s Food Environment Working Group presents such a global framework with implications for action.

Food Security and Nutrition: Growing Cities, New Challenges
Ruel, Marie T.; Garrett, James L.; Yosef, Sivan. 2017
Poverty, food insecurity, and malnutrition become increasingly urban problems as urban populations expand everywhere. Persistent child undernutrition, stubborn micronutrient deficiencies, and an alarming rise in overweight and obesity in urban areas mark the shift of the burden of malnutrition from rural areas to cities. In addition, the urban poor face a challenging food environment.
