This book explores the evolving nature of food systems in Africa, which are at crisis point. The authors present case studies from across the continent to propose innovative and contextually relevant approaches to food systems resilience and food systems sustainable transformation. They investigate the contemporary challenges to food systems in Africa, including climate change, pandemics, energy challenges and war and conflict, inside and outside Africa. This book demonstrates how approaches to food can shift away from production, consumption and value chains toward safety, networks and complexity. This book brings new insight to the challenges in food systems from many disciplines, from agriculture, tourism, health, climate science, AI and digital science, political science and economics. Emmanuel Ndhlovu is a Research Fellow within the College of Business and Economics at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. His research interests include development issues, political economy, land reform, agriculture and agribusiness, peasant livelihoods, informal sector livelihoods, migration and remittances, social protection, food security and poverty, and informal economy.
