About this book
Tropentag is the largest interdisciplinary conference in Europe focusing on development-oriented research in the fields of tropical and subtropical agriculture, food security, natural resource management and rural development. It is clear that a just and sustainabletransformation of our food systems is urgently needed: climate change, conflicts, risingfood and fuel prices, and growing social and income inequalities are exacerbatingthe vulnerabilities of our food systems. The theme invites diverse contributions that explore different pathways for transformingfood systems and the trade-offs and synergies involved, ranging from more technicalsolutions, such as climate-smart agriculture and biofortified crops, to more systematicsolutions for changing the underlying relationships of our food systems, suchas agroecology and alternative food networks.
