Global food supply systems (FSS) are increasingly tested by sudden shocks such as pandemics, geopolitical conflicts, and extreme weather events, that demand adaptive and transformative responses. This systematic review analyses 26 empirical studies published between 2016 and 2023, each examining an abrupt disruption in FSS. Of these, 22 focus on exposure to COVID-19 and four on natural disasters. Findings reveal that the most resilient food supply systems are those that combine strong operational, relational, and structural attributes with well-developed capacities at each shock phase (pre-, during-, and post-). These elements, taken together, not only enable effective recovery (returning to near-normal function) but also foster adaptation (dynamic adjustments to new conditions) and transformational shifts (permanent, beneficial reconfigurations) whenever disruptive events strike. However, many studies indicate that the capacity to “bounce forward” remains limited: short-term coping actions are often not converted into long-term structural reforms. This gap is particularly noticeable in settings with weak policy frameworks or resource constraints, undermining broader resilience gains. Although FSS often exhibit significant adaptability during disruptions, deeper transformation requires sustained efforts and alignment among governmental, private-sector, and community actors. The integrated framework of resilience proposed in this review clarifies how attributes underpin capacities that, when activated through concrete actions, shape resilience outcomes. By emphasising both short-term coping and long-term systemic change, stakeholders can strengthen future resilience strategies across diverse FSS contexts. Enhanced conceptual clarity, multi-scalar approaches, and expanded empirical evidence are crucial for guiding policy and practice, ultimately enabling FSS to withstand and learn from sudden shocks.

全球粮食供应系统日益受到流行病、地缘政治冲突和极端天气事件等突发事件的考验，需要采取适应性和变革性的应对措施。本系统综述分析了2016年至2023年间发表的26项实证研究，每项研究都考察了FSS的突然中断。其中22项重点关注COVID-19风险，4项重点关注自然灾害。研究结果表明，最具弹性的粮食供应系统是那些将强大的操作、关系和结构属性与在每个冲击阶段（冲击前、冲击中和冲击后）发展良好的能力相结合的系统。这些因素结合在一起，不仅能够有效地恢复（恢复到接近正常的功能），而且能够在破坏性事件发生时促进适应（对新条件的动态调整）和转型转变（永久的、有益的重新配置）。然而，许多研究表明，“反弹向前”的能力仍然有限：短期应对行动往往不能转化为长期的结构性改革。在政策框架薄弱或资源受限的情况下，这一差距尤其明显，从而破坏了更广泛的韧性收益。虽然FSS在中断期间经常表现出显著的适应性，但更深层次的转型需要政府、私营部门和社区行动者之间的持续努力和协调。本综述中提出的弹性综合框架阐明了属性如何支撑能力，当通过具体行动激活时，这些能力会形成弹性结果。通过强调短期应对和长期系统性变革，利益相关者可以在不同的金融服务体系背景下加强未来的弹性战略。提高概念清晰度、多标量方法和扩大经验证据对于指导政策和实践至关重要，最终使FSS能够承受突发冲击并从中吸取教训。

Global food systems face complex challenges and need to transform to meet increasing demand for food, sustainably. Smallholders are a significant population of food producers and need to be considered in this transformation. However, international policy advice and much of the existing research has focused only on smallholders in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) without considering what support smallholders in high-income countries (HICs) need, or currently receive.

A systematic scoping review was undertaken to identify peer-reviewed articles describing needs of, and public policies supporting, smallholders in HICs, from four databases. Fifty-six articles were included in the review. Needs and policy recommendations extracted from these articles were compared to a framework developed by thematically analysing three policy advice documents from FAO’s Committee on World Food Security (CFS) to isolate 13 specific policy recommendations.

The scoping review found support among HIC smallholders for ten of the 13 CFS recommendations but no support for developing a broad smallholder vision or policy, maintaining smallholder data systems or using public procurement to support smallholders. Eight additional needs were elicited from the data that were not identified in CFS advice.

This study highlights gaps between HIC smallholder needs, existing policies and international policy advice with implications for policy, namely, that policymakers should collaborate with smallholders to develop simple, targeted policies and focus on strengthening rural communities.

全球粮食系统面临着复杂的挑战，需要进行转型，以可持续地满足日益增长的粮食需求。小农是粮食生产者的重要组成部分，在这一转型中需要予以考虑。然而，国际政策建议和许多现有研究只关注低收入和中等收入国家（LMICs）的小农，而没有考虑高收入国家（HICs）的小农需要或目前获得的支持。进行了系统的范围审查，以从四个数据库中确定描述高收入国家小农需求和支持公共政策的同行评议文章。56篇文章被纳入综述。将从这些文章中提取的需求和政策建议与通过对粮农组织世界粮食安全委员会（粮安委）的三份政策咨询文件进行专题分析而制定的框架进行比较，以分离出13项具体政策建议。范围审查发现，高收入小农支持粮安委13项建议中的10项，但不支持制定广泛的小农愿景或政策、维护小农数据系统或利用公共采购支持小农。从数据中得出了在粮安委建议中未确定的另外八项需求。这项研究强调了高收入国家小农需求、现有政策和国际政策建议之间的差距，这对政策有影响，即政策制定者应与小农合作，制定简单、有针对性的政策，并注重加强农村社区。

Cross-border food remittances contribute to household food security in the receiving countries in the Global South. This paper draws on recent research on Zimbabwean cross-border food remittances from South Africa to Zimbabwe to explore the impact on food security back home. This is achieved by examining food remittance flows from South Africa through digital channels and informal land corridors using cross-border transporters. The paper discusses both the recent widespread use of digital and mobile technology-based pathways and other traditional channels to remit food back home to Zimbabwe and the factors that have contributed to the shift. The study is based on a desktop methodology that involves an in-depth analysis of peer-reviewed journal articles and reports on food remittances by Zimbabwean migrants based in South Africa. The findings reveal complex and interesting insights into past and current cross-border food flows. First, the food remitting channels are diverse and include hybrid food remitting processes. Second, cross-border food remittances impact local food systems, although households with family members in the diaspora generally enjoy improved food and nutrition security. The paper also examines the impact of the shift to digital food transfers on households, cross-border food transfers, and local food producers, particularly in terms of accessibility, affordability, and nutritional diversity.

跨境粮食汇款有助于全球南方接收国的家庭粮食安全。本文借鉴了最近关于津巴布韦从南非向津巴布韦跨境粮食汇款的研究，以探讨对国内粮食安全的影响。这是通过审查南非通过数字渠道和使用跨境运输商的非正式陆地走廊的粮食汇款流量来实现的。本文讨论了最近广泛使用的基于数字和移动技术的途径以及其他传统渠道将粮食汇回津巴布韦，以及促成这种转变的因素。这项研究基于桌面方法，包括对同行评议的期刊文章和关于南非津巴布韦移民食品汇款的报告进行深入分析。这些发现揭示了对过去和现在跨境粮食流动的复杂而有趣的见解。首先，粮食汇出渠道多样化，包括混合粮食汇出过程。第二，跨境粮食汇款影响当地粮食系统，尽管有家庭成员散居海外的家庭通常享有更好的粮食和营养安全。本文还研究了向数字粮食转移的转变对家庭、跨境粮食转移和当地粮食生产者的影响，特别是在可及性、可负担性和营养多样性方面。

Regional and national food policies must seek to attain equilibrium among social, economic, political, agricultural, and environmental factors. As a developmental objective, food self-sufficiency (FSS) responds to a region's need for increased autonomy and control over its own food supply. In this systematic review, we employed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol to assess the state of the art, then, we explored 109 final selected studies, focusing on the main interactions associated to achieving FSS goals. We found that FSS objectives can be realised through context-dependent interactions with 47 identified factors. The main limitations associated with attaining FSS goals emerge from the confluence of trade-offs with water and agricultural land. The positive interplay between FSS and agricultural management highlights the synergies that result from adopting advanced sustainable technologies and practices and optimizing resource-use efficiency, which holds promise for achieving FSS goals. We identified a shortage of studies focusing on food consumption, distribution, and access related factors, despite their relevance in promoting FSS and food security. We identified four primary developmental strategies rooted in local agricultural management practices, each aimed at addressing the achievement of FSS goals while mitigating associated trade-offs: cropland expansion/cropland-water resource management, yield gap closure, cropping systems diversification/integrated crop management, and urban agriculture. In conclusion, identifying factors that limit or strengthen FSS can help to facilitate the transition away from siloed government strategies to arbitrate between different holistic development strategies according to local contexts.

区域和国家粮食政策必须设法在社会、经济、政治、农业和环境因素之间取得平衡。作为一项发展目标，粮食自给自足（FSS）回应了一个地区对其自身粮食供应增加自主权和控制的需求。在本系统综述中，我们采用系统评价和荟萃分析首选报告项目（PRISMA）协议来评估最新的研究现状，然后，我们探索了109项最终选择的研究，重点关注与实现FSS目标相关的主要相互作用。我们发现，FSS目标可以通过与47个已确定因素的上下文相关的相互作用来实现。与实现FSS目标相关的主要限制来自与水和农业用地的权衡。FSS与农业管理之间的积极相互作用凸显了采用先进的可持续技术和实践以及优化资源利用效率所产生的协同效应，这为实现FSS目标带来了希望。我们发现缺乏关注食品消费、分配和获取相关因素的研究，尽管它们与促进FSS和粮食安全相关。我们确定了植根于当地农业管理实践的四项主要发展战略，每项战略都旨在实现FSS目标，同时减轻相关的权衡：农田扩张/农田-水资源管理、产量缺口闭合、种植系统多样化/作物综合管理和城市农业。总之，确定限制或加强FSS的因素有助于促进从孤立的政府战略过渡到根据当地情况在不同的整体发展战略之间进行仲裁。

Rural and structural transformation can lead to large improvements in welfare, but the outcomes depend on the inclusivity of transformation processes. Climate change, transitions to low productivity employment and divergent nutrition trends make resilient and inclusive transformation increasingly challenging to achieve. By bringing together findings on the diverse range of impacts of social protection from different strains of literature, this paper argues that social protection can make rural transformation more resilient and inclusive through two key pathways: i) increased human capital including healthy diets and nutrition and ii) improved resource allocation and risk management. However, this requires implementing social protection as an integral part of rural transformation policies, expansion of social protection coverage to enhance resilience and inclusivity and acknowledging trade-offs from multiple policy objectives.

农村和结构转型可以带来福利的大幅改善，但结果取决于转型过程的包容性。气候变化、向低生产率就业的过渡以及营养趋势的分化，使得实现具有复原力和包容性的转型越来越具有挑战性。本文汇集了不同文献对社会保护的各种影响的研究结果，认为社会保护可以通过两个关键途径使农村转型更具弹性和包容性：1)增加包括健康饮食和营养在内的人力资本；2)改善资源分配和风险管理。然而，这需要将社会保护作为农村转型政策的一个组成部分来实施，扩大社会保护覆盖面以增强韧性和包容性，并承认多种政策目标之间的权衡。

While land distribution and tenure security are being recognized as drivers of resilience and inclusive rural transformation, today many rural poor in low- and middle-income countries struggle for land. Pressures on and competition for land have increased under simultaneous processes of population growth, agro-extractive business interests and practices, and climate change. Trends in land concentration on one hand and land fragmentation on the other hand are leading to land scarcity for the rural poor, while non-farm employment prospects remain isolated. By reviewing the literature and discussing global land trends, we argue that policies for expanding access to land (including redistributive reforms) and tenure security (overall and of collective rights over forests and other biodiverse land held by Indigenous Peoples and other traditional communities in particular) are all the more relevant for inclusive rural transformation in the present context. By recognising that these land reform measures need to be accompanied by complementary support services and policies, the paper concludes by identifying key policy recommendations.

虽然土地分配和权属保障被认为是农村韧性和包容性转型的驱动因素，但今天，低收入和中等收入国家的许多农村贫困人口仍在为土地而苦苦挣扎。在人口增长、农业采掘企业的利益和做法以及气候变化的同时，对土地的压力和竞争增加了。一方面是土地集中的趋势，另一方面是土地破碎化的趋势，导致农村穷人土地短缺，而非农业就业前景仍然孤立。通过回顾文献并讨论全球土地趋势，我们认为，在当前背景下，扩大土地获取（包括再分配改革）和权属保障（特别是土著人民和其他传统社区对森林和其他生物多样性土地的总体和集体权利）的政策与包容性农村转型更为相关。通过认识到这些土地改革措施需要辅之以补充性的支持服务和政策，论文最后确定了关键的政策建议。

Urgent calls for food system transformation have spurred a variety of responses globally. In some cases, these calls have been answered through top-down led processes, driven by public agencies to design and implement measures that can drive societies towards more viable patterns of development. In other cases, transformation processes have been ignited by community level actors who addressed sustainability issues with context-specific solutions. The broad range of actors raises the question of whether it is top-down or bottom-up processes and actors that are better placed to deliver the fundamental and system level changes that characterise transformation. Through a systematic review, we identified 40 case studies across 24 countries to investigate the role of top-down or bottom-up processes in transformation, whether the two might intertwine, and with what results. We propose five different types of interactions: Autonomous Bottom-Up, Collaborative Bottom-Up, Top-Down Struggles and Resourceful Bottom-Up, Collaborative Top-Down and Transformation Alliances. Based on our analysis, we propose a new heuristic of roles and interactions between different actors. We suggest a shift from dichotomic views on top-down and bottom-up actor roles towards the concept of “transformation functions,” which would re-centre the discussion around the existing or needed capabilities for transformation in different contexts. Finally, we call for further research to determine how different transformation functions need to become more synchronised -or coordinated-to accelerate transformation.

粮食体系转型的紧急呼吁在全球引发了各种反应。在某些情况下，这些呼吁通过自上而下的领导进程得到了回应，这些进程由公共机构推动，旨在设计和执行能够推动社会走向更可行的发展模式的措施。在其他情况下，转型过程是由社区一级的行动者点燃的，他们用具体情况的解决方案来解决可持续性问题。参与者的广泛范围提出了一个问题，即是自顶向下还是自底向上的过程，以及更适合交付具有转换特征的基本和系统级变化的参与者。通过系统回顾，我们确定了24个国家的40个案例研究，以调查自上而下或自下而上的过程在转型中的作用，两者是否可能交织在一起，以及会产生什么结果。我们提出了五种不同类型的交互：自治自下而上、协作自下而上、自上而下的斗争和资源自下而上、协作自上而下和转型联盟。在此基础上，我们提出了一种新的角色启发式和不同参与者之间的互动启发式。我们建议从自顶向下和自底向上的参与者角色的二分观点转向“转换功能”的概念，这将重新集中讨论在不同环境中现有的或需要的转换能力。最后，我们呼吁进行进一步的研究，以确定不同的转换功能需要如何变得更加同步或协调，以加速转换。

The broad range of actors raises the question of whether it is top-down or bottom-up processes and actors that are better placed to deliver the fundamental and system level changes that characterise transformation. Through a systematic review, we identified 40 case studies across 24 countries to investigate the role of top<strong>-</strong>down or bottom-up processes in transformation, whether the two might intertwine, and with what results. We propose five different types of interactions: Autonomous Bottom-Up, Collaborative Bottom-Up, Top-Down Struggles and Resourceful Bottom-Up, Collaborative Top-Down and Transformation Alliances. Based on our analysis, we propose a new heuristic of roles and interactions between different actors. We suggest a shift from dichotomic views on top-down and bottom-up actor roles towards the concept of “transformation functions,” which would re-centre the discussion around the existing or needed capabilities for transformation in different contexts. Finally, we call for further research to determine how different transformation functions need to become more synchronised -or coordinated-to accelerate transformation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48741,"journal":{"name":"Global Food Security-Agriculture Policy Economics and Environment","volume":"44 ","pages":"Article 100833"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143394961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Food production and trade are key drivers of environmental change worldwide. Global initiatives emphasize the need to shift towards healthier and more sustainable diets, with increased consumption of fruits and vegetables (F&V). However, F&V cultivation relies on diverse high-value crop species that often require intensive fertilization and irrigation for optimum yield and quality, as well as a large labor force. This generates trade-offs across scales between the impacts in the production regions and the global need to increase F&V production. Through multi-actor dialogues, we analysed the social-ecological dynamics of the F&V agriculture system in Southeast Spain, which crucially supplies F&V to Northern Europe. Using a new approach combining the 3Horizons method and system thinking tools, our results reveal the agricultural system's context-specific structures as a foundation for exploring transformative opportunities. We found that the agricultural system a) is sustained in a governance model that lacks cooperation and fosters polarized views, 2) surpasses the biophysical limits, and 3) relies on immigrant low-wage labor. Additionally, our results underscore the need to share the responsibilities and costs of the food-system transformation across the supply chain actors, focusing on the potential of retailers, governance institutions at multiple scales, collective structures of farmer producers, and auxiliary industries to support sustainable and just transformative changes.

粮食生产和贸易是全球环境变化的主要驱动因素。全球倡议强调有必要转向更健康和更可持续的饮食，增加水果和蔬菜的消费（食品和蔬菜）。然而，粮食作物种植依赖于多种高价值作物品种，往往需要密集施肥和灌溉才能获得最佳产量和质量，而且需要大量劳动力。这就需要在生产区域的影响和全球增加粮食产量的需求之间进行权衡。通过多方对话，我们分析了西班牙东南部粮食农业系统的社会生态动态，该系统主要向北欧供应粮食。通过结合3Horizons方法和系统思维工具的新方法，我们的研究结果揭示了农业系统的特定环境结构是探索变革机会的基础。我们发现农业系统a)维持在一个缺乏合作和促进观点两极分化的治理模式中，2)超越了生物物理极限，3)依赖移民的低工资劳动力。此外，我们的研究结果强调了在整个供应链参与者之间分担食品系统转型的责任和成本的必要性，重点关注零售商、多尺度治理机构、农民生产者集体结构和辅助产业的潜力，以支持可持续和公正的转型变革。
