Since then the need to transition towards more sustainable food systems has been further mainstreamed within multilateral fora.\n\nIn 2022, as a result of climate change-related phenomena such as severe droughts, combined with geopolitical turmoil initiated by the war in Ukraine initiated by Russia, food security became a major issue with the Eastern African region being most heavily affected.\n\nWhile, food system activists and a majority of the scientific community generally disagree with the assumption that food system transformation jeopardises food security, opposing forces gained political momentum in 2022.\n\nTaking into account these major elements of resilience and food security, this workshop series discussed the following questions: How can a transition towards sustainable and resilient food systems in Europe be achieved by 2030? Which national policies and transnational governance schemes are needed to achieve sustainable and resilient food systems in Europe by 2030?\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/foraus.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Project-Brief_Food-Systems-Transformation_final.pdf\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-55637 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/foraus.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Food-Systems-transformation-210x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"210\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":82669,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"project-status":[1835],"custom-themes":[1952],"class_list":["post-84919","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project-status-past","custom-themes-klima"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/foraus.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/84919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/foraus.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/foraus.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foraus.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/82669"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/foraus.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project-status","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foraus.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project-status?post=84919"},{"taxonomy":"custom-themes","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foraus.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/custom-themes?post=84919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
