Agri-Food systems are pivotal interfaces between human activity and natural ecosystems across rural–urban landscapes. Recently, they have been increasingly exposed to shocks and stressors, making their resilience a central concern for humanity, and is highly debated in science and policy. However, resilience is a complex and multifaceted concept, and more robust metrics to measure it are needed.

This workshop brings together researchers from geography, social sciences, and applied economics to advance the measurement of food system resilience and its policy relevance.

The programme features three sessions on (i) resilience and sustainability; (ii) methodological approaches to capturing agri-food system complexity; and (iii) the development of metrics to inform policy design. It will conclude with an interactive World Café.

The workshop aims to foster interdisciplinary exchange and build a network of scholars to advance research on agri-food system resilience with a specific focus on resilient landscapes and develop robust, policy-relevant metrics.
