Resilient and Sustainable Food and Agricultural Systems
Abstract
The project between the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) and BOKU’s Institute for Development Research (IDR) aims at intensifying and strengthening the interface between development practice and research that has been established in previous projects, as well as, at raising awareness with a more general audience for development-related challenges that are linked to BOKU’s fields of competence. Critical developments and trends in the agricultural and the food system, that involve trade-off’s and possible conflict of objectives, shall be discussed. A second thematic pillar will be resilience, with a focus on strengthening smallholder farmer resilience. Relevant experiences and scientific results shall be integrated regardless of disciplinary borders. This critical discourse and exchange shall lead to action and strategy recommendations to support striving towards achieving the UN SDGs. Last but not least, awareness of critical trends in the food system and possible solutions to challenges facing us shall be raised at the level of a general audience.
