For instance, natural disasters or geopolitical instability can disrupt supply chains, impacting food availability and affordability in vulnerable regions.

Case studies and statistical data support the analysis, providing a comprehensive understanding of the issues.

The book uniquely bridges economics and environmental science, offering insights for policymakers, businesses, and anyone interested in the global food system's sustainability and resilience. Finally, the book proposes strategies for building more resilient and sustainable food supply chains, emphasizing the need for collaboration among governments, businesses, and communities. It progresses by examining disruptions, logistics, and hunger crises, culminating in solutions for a more secure and equitable global food system.
