Food and nutritional security refers to the challenge of providing sustainable, healthy and accessible food to all people. It has four interconnected dimensions: availability, access, utilization and stability. Tackling this tremendous challenge means transforming our food systems and mobilizing key stakeholders and decision-makers to leverage intersectoral knowledge and scientific evidence. From 2014 to 2020, CIRAD and INRAE led an ambitious interdisciplinary flagship programme on the transitions for global food security called GloFoodS. Authored by principal investigators and contributors to research projects funded by GloFoodS, this book is representative of the programme’s interdisciplinary research but does not claim to provide exhaustive coverage of topics and approaches of food security. It presents recent research findings from many disciplines, including the life, engineering and social sciences. The findings were drawn from different analysis scales as well as from the combination of local and global food security approaches. The various chapters explore issues such as food system governance, balance and discrepancies between agricultural supply and food needs, the role of innovations in providing high-quality foods and promoting resilient value chains, and the role of local resource management in achieving food security. This book will be of interest to a broad scientific audience of researchers, academics, food systems professionals and decision-makers, as well as readers interested in food and nutritional security issues.

This book addresses the sustainability of systems for food security by combining local and global approaches. Coordinated by Alban Thomas, Arlène Alpha, Aleksandra Barczak, and Nadine Zakhia-Rozis, it explores themes such as governance, agricultural supply and demand, and innovative food processing methods. The book examines case studies from countries like Senegal, Morocco, and France to illustrate the effects of governance on food security. It discusses the role of women in food security, the impact of dietary changes on land use, and the importance of reducing food waste. The text is aimed at researchers and policymakers interested in sustainable agricultural practices and food security, with the goal of providing a comprehensive understanding of how to achieve global food security through system transitions.

Les relations scientifiques et technologiques entre l'Afrique et l'Europe ont une histoire longue, dynamique et parfois en dents de scie, qui traduit une certaine complexité en termes d'intérêts et de stratégies aux niveaux national, régional et international. Ce livre traite de la coopération dans le domaine de la recherche appliquée, en quête de solutions face aux défis sociétaux communs. Ainsi aborde-t-il quatre défis majeurs. Premièrement, fournir un aperçu compréhensible du paysage mondial des politiques de recherche et d'innovation dans lequel le partenariat stratégique Afrique-Europe fonctionne actuellement. Deuxièmement, procéder à une analyse critique des divers réseaux et organisations qui soutiennent, permettent et renforcent la coopération bi-régionale en matière de sciences, technologies et innovation [STI]. Troisièmement, éclairer les résultats et l'impact de certaines initiatives réelles des entreprises opérant dans le domaine de la STI. Quatrièmement, présenter une série de leçons claires susceptibles d'appuyer les futurs efforts de coopération entre l'Afrique et l'Europe en matière de STI.
