The global agri-food system faces critical challenges from climate change, evolving consumer demands, sustainability needs, and economic uncertainties. The global agri-food system faces critical challenges from climate change, evolving consumer demands, sustainability needs, and economic uncertainties. This book gathers diverse studies addressing food security, supply chain resilience, sustainable business models, and environmental sustainability to guide long-term viability. Key themes include the influence of sustainable consumption on EU supply chains, the Scottish pig industry's collaborative response to shocks like Brexit and COVID-19, and how wine tourism supports local economies and sustainable rural development. Water resource management in African watersheds and the application of the Triple Bottom Line in Spain’s fresh produce sector highlight regional and business sustainability strategies. Additionally, the book examines small-scale dairy farms in Hungary, focusing on food safety and consumer trust. Collectively, these chapters emphasize the need for innovation, collaboration, and evidence-based policies to tackle climate change and food insecurity. The insights offer valuable direction for policymakers, industry professionals, and researchers aiming to develop resilient, equitable, and sustainable agri-food systems in an increasingly uncertain global landscape.
