This is about the transformations of the linkages between agricultural products utilization and production considering the role of consumers, agro-industries and retailers, and their possible consequences on hunger, health, and pressure on natural resources.
By tackling it with a forward thinking posture it is intended to i) consider the roles of actors (policy makers, agro-industries, retailers…) and downscale it to local level, ii) to explore, beyond those food chain stakeholders, what are the main drivers at the global but also at the local levels (demography, consumers behavior, nutrition transition, post-harvest losses and wastes control …), and iii) to identify at which level and on which specific process relevant public policies could be efficient.
