This note, based on concrete examples, presents the actors, the technical solutions and the obstacles to be overcome for a large scale deployment of vertical farms.
Based on the Chapter 6 of the MOND’Alim 2030 book written by the Center for Studies and Strategic Foresight, this Analysis describes the core trends of the governance of food systems : a multilateral framework encountering more and more competition, the convergence between agricultural policies and normative food standards, but still with limited coordination in some cases, and the increasing number of private initiatives.
Based on the Chapter 3 of the MOND’Alim 2030 book written by the Center for Studies and Strategic Foresight, this Analysis presents the major changes in food systems in terms of information flow, R&D and dissemination of innovations.
Based on the Chapter 5 of the MOND’Alim 2030 book written by the Center for Studies and Strategic Foresight, this Analysis isolates three main trends involving the actors of the globalization of food systems : their increasing number, the growing complexity of their interactions and the hybridization of their statuses.
Based on the Chapter 2 of the MOND’Alim 2030 book written by the Center for Studies and Strategic Foresight, this Analysis draws out the main characteristics and trends in agrifood trade (increasing numbers of flows, countries and products, an expanding role for private-sector actors, value chain segmentation, etc.) and formulates hypotheses for the next fifteen years.
One chapter in the publication MOND’Alim 2030 produced by the Centre for Studies and Strategic Foresight (Centre d’Etudes et de Prospective - CEP) is devoted to public risks and issues and the globalization of their management.
The MOND’Alim 2030 exercise led by the Centre for Studies and Strategic Foresight is aimed at characterising the current phase in globalisation and documenting the main dynamics at work.
The globalization of food systems is not limited to trade and culinary influences. As a centuries-long, but partly reversible, phenomenon, it is increasingly contributing to the interpenetration of different geographical levels : local regions, nations, continents, world.
Agriculture can contribute to combat climate change and cut down on net emissions of green-house gas (GHGs) by reducing its own emissions, storing carbon in the soil or producing renewa-ble energies that mitigate GHGs by replacing fossil fuels.
Whereas water is one of the factors that determine human activities – including agriculture –and ensure ecosystems function properly, its use is already under considerable strain in someFrench regions.
