The challenges to ensure food and nutrition security for all in today’s world are complex and intertwined with a broad range of political, financial, environmental, technological and social issues. To address these challenges will require an integrated and holistic approach to agri-food chain, so that measures in one place do not have negative externalities somewhere else on the planet.
