4TH INTERNATIONAL FOOD & SOCIETY CONFERENCE

A growing body of evidence makes it clear that substantial changes are needed to reduce the environmental footprint of our current global food system, including the eating patterns that dominate in many parts of the world and the ones that are emerging. This theme focuses on Perspectives with regard to balancing potentially conflicting priorities related to human and planetary health, as well as equity. Climate action concerns at least three areas pf policy making: mitigation, geoengineering and adaptation. Mitigation concerns reducing the production of new emissions by changing lifestyles, transportation and energy consumption. Geoengineering is often discussed as technological intervention to fix the challenge of climate change. Adaptation concerns necessary measures to minimise the risk of negative impacts of already changing climate conditions. We hope to receive significant contributions related to these three sub-themes.
