Underutilised crops in Europe: An interdisciplinary approach towards sustainable practices
In the context of a rapidly growing global population and significant climatic and environmental change, there is an urgent need to produce nutritious food in a sustainable manner. Some crops are underutilised in Europe, despite their suitability to local environments, viability for sustainable production and potential to improve diets. Rye ( Secale cereale ) has a long history of cultivation in Europe, yet is underutilised owing to complex histo…

Enacted relations and the resilience of territorially embedded production systems in Europe
The future of small farms and small food businesses as actors in regional food security: A participatory scenario analysis from Europe and Africa
Outcomes of 13 participatory foresight workshops are compared. • Small farms' and businesses' contribution to food security is important in three of the four considered scenarios. • Concerns on small farms and food businesses relate to the broader rural setting. • Weak collective action will hamper the adaptive capacity of small farms
Disentangling the diversity of small farm business models in Euro‐Mediterranean contexts: A resilience perspective
With growing concern for the unsustainability of food systems, the international research community has turned its attention to small farms as key actors to potentially face the global food crisis. This study aims to support a policy design that values the diversity of small farms business models vis‐à‐vis environmental, economic, social and institutional challenges affecting European farming systems. Building on the existing classification of fi…
Routledge Handbook of Sustainable Diets
The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) defines a sustainable food system (SFS) as one that “delivers food security and nutrition for all in such a way that the economic, social and environmental bases to generate food security and nutrition for future generations are not compromised” (FAO, 2018, np). This definition supports the important role of food safety and zoonotic disease mitigation in sustainable food systems, g…
Adaptive business arrangements and the creation of social capital: Towards small‐scale fisheries resilience in different European geographical areas
European small‐scale fisheries are confronted with several challenges, notably a decrease in the number of people engaged in capture fishing, growing competition from less expensive extra‐European Union markets, rising operational costs, strict regulations and the depletion of fishing stocks. Many small‐scale fishers must adapt to change to maintain or increase their income using different business strategies. In this respect, we argue that new a…
How can policy processes remove barriers to sustainable food systems in Europe? Contributing to a policy framework for agri-food transitions
Explaining regional dynamics of marketing strategies: The experience of the Tuscan wine producers
A Delphi Approach to Develop Sustainable Food System Metrics
Sustainability and Food & Nutrition Security: A Vulnerability Assessment Framework for the Mediterranean Region
Recurrent food crises and climate change, along with habitat loss and micronutrient deficiencies, are global issues of critical importance that have pushed food security and environmental sustainability to the top of the political agenda. Analyses of the dynamic linkages between food consumption patterns and environmental concerns have recently received considerable attention from the international and scientific community. Using the lens of a br…
