Climate change has severe negative impacts on livelihoods and food systems worldwide. There is an urgent need to transform the food systems to ensure its sustainability and resiliency. Agroecology could play a vital role here. This video aims to elaborate on existing links between agroecology and climate change.  It provides evidence on the technical and policy potential of agroecology to build resilient food systems.

Food and agriculture have always been a key battleground for the deployment of new technologies. This essay argues that any alternative to this corporate-led technological food future must center on peasant farmers' interests and livelihoods, small farm holders, and indigenous communities. It is, therefore, more urgent than ever to talk about the right of peasant farmers, peoples, and countries to define their agriculture and food policies in ways that establish direct, democratic control over the data how they feed themselves, and how they maintain land, water, and other resources for the benefit of current and future generations. 

This Special Issue of ''Sustainability'' will explore innovative approaches and methods in sustainable available food procurement practice and policy, focusing on Public Food Procurement (PFP) policies. It aims to serve as an instrument to promote environmental sustainability and possible means to measure its impacts and areas in which research is currently lacking. 

The Family Farming Barometer 2020 offers an exploratory dive into the heart of the emerging concept of food systems and draws up an observation: the current food system is not up to the challenges of the 21st century, and it is urgent to transform it radically. The Barometer provides guidelines on how to engage in building a sustainable food system.
