System Innovation for Sustainability 3 is the second of three books of case studies covering respectively the three key consumption areas of mobility, food and agriculture, and energy use and housing — responsible for 70% of the life-cycle environmental impacts of Western societies — with the aim of stimulating, fostering or forcing change to SCP theory in practice.Sustainability issues are now clearly on the agenda for food producers and market actors, politicians and regulators, as well as being increasingly important in the decisions consumers make about food.This book focuses largely on providing answers to the question of how food production and consumption systems can stay within the limits of the carrying capacity of our natural environment. But it also considers the challenges of food security and nutrition in the context of sustainability and a growing world population.
Sustainability can be thought of as ‘continuance into the long term’ and sustainable development as the means by which we achieve sustainability (Porritt 2005). The triplebottom-line concept is a useful means to highlight the interconnectedness between the economic, social and environmental dimensions of the food and farming industry. Recent strategy papers on sustainable farming and food identify the consequences of farming on measures of sustainable development and also the consequences for farming of a changing economic, social and environmental scenario. But what do economic, social and environmental sustainability mean in the context of food and farming?
