Food security has been directly associated with hunger, poverty and humanitarian aspects. Somehow, this has generated a conceptual divide between undernourished and nourished people whose problems have been addressed as independent from one another. Similarly, the tools and instruments used to tackle food insecurity problems have failed to adopt a systematic and coherent approach. Given the future challenges the world will face and the increasing tendency towards complexity and uncertainty, the time has come to move beyond this conventional approach and to look systemically at food security and its complex nature. In this report, we will argue that by 2030 and beyond, food security will increasingly be considered as securing food supply in response to changing and growing global demand. Food security is not only a global and systemic challenge, but also an opportunity for the EU to play a role in innovation, trade, health, wealth generation and geopolitical relations.
