ood insecurity is a worldwide concern. Today, the quest for a world whereeveryone has access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food has never been socrucial. In 2021, around 2.3 billion people were food-insecure, seriously affectingaround 11.7% of the world’s population (FAO et al. 2022). Food insecurity has beenexacerbated by the social and health crises the world has been experiencing since 2019.The COVID-19 crisis and the Russia–Ukraine conflict have fundamentally affectedfood supply both for agricultural products and for the inputs used to produce them.These crises have disrupted supply chains, limited access to markets, and increasedthe vulnerability of marginalized populations (Ben Hassen and El Bilali 2022).Experts agree that food security can only be achieved through inclusive,resilient, and sustainable agrifood systems (FAO 2023). Agrifood systems gobeyond simple access to food and encompass the entire food chain, including theproduction, processing, distribution, and consumption of agricultural and foodproducts (Neik et al. 2023). Agrifood systems are weakened by climate change, theloss of biodiversity, and rising poverty. Although advancements in technology offerpromising avenues to enhance food production while minimizing environmentalimpact (Foley et al. 2011), agrifood systems still generate significant hidden costslinked to environmental, social, and health problems, as stated in the 2023 report ofthe FAO.
