Aim of the joint call

This CRA focuses on one aspect of food security: the two-way interactions between the dynamics of food systems and land use change, including the implications of the change on biodiversity and ecosystem services. Food security research is a vast agenda spanning political, economic and social issues related to sustainable food production and above all to access to food in terms of quantity as well as of quality. Trying to access all the complexity in one call would be virtually impossible. Land-use, and especially change in land use, is arguably the most significant driver of environmental change as it leads to many of the main areas of concern: loss of biodiversity, greenhouse gas emissions, soil degradation and alteration of hydrological cycles.
