| dc.description | To enhance the resilience of food systems, it is essential to understand the long-term impacts of recent global shocks and stresses and extract key lessons learned. Shifts in consumption patterns and purchasing power are driving gradual adaptations and transformations within food systems, making these changes difficult to fully comprehend. Given this complexity, it is crucial to analyse how various stakeholders respond to these shocks and the resulting implications for the resilience and sustainability of food systems. This literature review seeks to clarify the concept of resilience in the context of city region food systems (CRFS). It highlights key principles that could strengthen CRFS resilience and focuses on the resilience capacities within these systems, examining the attributes needed to develop and support these capacities. By using the COVID-19 pandemic as a case study, the report explores the impacts, individual responses, and collective actions that reveal the complexities of CRFS. It also synthesizes a range of recommendations from the literature to improve food system resilience. Finally, it distills key lessons from the literature review and suggests a path forward.This report does not aim to exhaustively review the extensive and growing body of literature on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on food systems, nor does it cover all aspects of food system resilience. Instead, it offers a targeted perspective on how the pandemic has influenced current thinking around food system resilience. | |
