The world’s food systems are under stress, exerting great pressure on life on land and underwater, as well as contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Yet, millions of people around the world have no food to eat – demonstrating the inefficiencies and inequities plaguing existing paradigms of food production and distribution.
