Practical approaches to develop resilience strategies for food systems

Oecd

No 217, OECD Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Papers from OECD Publishing

Abstract: Food systems deliver essential services, but are also vulnerable to a wide range of shocks. A major concern amongst policymakers is therefore how to build more resilient food systems. This paper asks which processes can be used by policymakers and stakeholders to develop strategies tailored to their specific context to enhance resilience. Such processes should be inclusive, recurring, and involve governments. A good process will have well-designed objectives, assess risks and opportunities, and generate action plans with clear responsibilities. This paper provides examples taken from several OECD Member countries. Although to date there are few examples of processes that meet all the criteria mentioned above, this paper identifies several initiatives that embody one or more criteria and could serve as a model to policymakers.
