Abstract

In order to achieve SDG2 (Zero hunger) food systems should be resilient against shocks. Food systems resilience is supported by a wide variety of food systems properties at all levels of the food system. Here, we have identified four important properties that support food systems resilience:

• Agency (which actions agents can take within their role),
• Buffering: how much reserves agents can keep,
• Connectivity: regional & international trade and
• Diversity: different roles of agents (producing, trading, consuming), differentiation within roles (urban/rural, rich/poor, regional/international orientation). Furthermore regions can differ in productivity and distribution of agent roles.
