10、od. Food security ('zero hunger')features very high among the recently agreed 17 SustainableDevelopment Goals (SDGs) and is intimately linked to several otherSDGs (United Nations, 2015). Ensuring food security an

11、d a sustainableagro-food system is not an easy task, given the impacts of climatechange and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to pre-serve key resources of particular importance for the water-energy-foodnex

12、us. The increasing global population and the transition in emergingmarket economies towards diets of predominantly animal origin, putadditional pressure on ensuring sufficient food production(Alexandratos and Bruinsma, 2

13、012). We have seen how disruptiveevents and geo-political developments such as the 2008 economic crisisor the 2015 EU/Russian embargo, which resulted in a 43% decrease ofEU agri-food exports to Russia, had dramatic conse

14、quences for bothfood producers and consumers (Szczepanski, 2015). In addition, recentdevelopments such as the decision of the United Kingdom to leave theEuropean Union and the repercussions this may bring to both parties

15、,demonstrate the need to take into account uncertainty in policy design.While access to “safe” and “nutritious” food is integral in the defi-nition of food security, most studies focus on how to ensure the “suf-ficiency”

16、 requirement of this definition. It can be argued that the reasonfor this is the high level of food safety currently enjoyed in developedregions. The EU in particular takes pride in its food safety legislativeframework,

17、which is seen as one of the most advanced in the world.This is achieved through science-based risk analysis based on the pre-cautionary principle and an institutional separation of risk assessment,management and communic

18、ation. But even in this environment, theoccasional food 'crisis' such as the German EHEC O104:H4 outbreak(Robert Koch Institut, 2011), unearths the vulnerabilities of the system.One may also argue that ensuring s

19、afety, nutritional quality, varietyand balance of foods and diets as well as the underlying social, en-vironmental and economic determinants, do not receive the attentionthey deserve in food security studies, as the suff

20、iciency aspect appearsto be more pressing. Moreover, the abundant food offer and almostunrestricted access to a large variety of nutritious quality foods in mostof the developed countries, result in the skewed view that

21、it is up to theindividual to make the right decisions and succeed in life and health.Making nutritious food available does not automatically lead to popu-lation-wide healthy diets (Butland et al., 2007). Despite a series

25、also the food industry has identified the in-volvement of citizens in food innovation and production as an im-portant challenge to tackle (European Technology Platform (ETP)“Food for Life,” 2016). Different levels of cit

26、izen engagement are cur-rently developed and applied, ranging from dialogues and consultationsto active contributions (e.g. data collection via crowd sourcing), col-laboration (e.g. analysing data, refining the project d

27、esign) to co-crea-tion of projects (e.g. citizens being involved in all steps of the researchproject) (Figueiredo Nascimento et al., 2016). Conceivably, citizenscould also support risk assessment and post-market monitori

28、ng bycollecting and sharing data on the use and effects of food products(Mylona et al., 2016). These approaches, organised by researchers orexperts, are increasingly complemented by bottom-up initiatives, en-compassing s

29、elf-organised do-it-yourself science by crowd-funded in-itiatives, hacker communities or fab labs (Bauer et al., 2016).These concepts might also help in developing innovative solutionsfor managing the plethora of easily

30、accessible but often misleading,factually-wrong, or conflicting information on food safety and nutri-tion, which will be necessary for dealing with future food insecuritysituations.5. And could innovation for nutrition a

31、nd health compromise foodsafety?The increasing dominance of foods high in fat, sugar and salt andthe decreased consumption of fresh produce challenge the “nutritious”attribute of our diet. Combined with snacking behaviou

32、r associatedwith busy schedules and increasingly sedentary lifestyles, diets arehaving devastating health consequences and the burden of disease at-tributable to diets and lifestyle may well increase further in the futur

33、e.Furthermore, the impacts of a changing climate in the coming yearsmay put further strain on the availability of fresh produce, in particularin self-sufficient systems. Paradoxically as it may seem, the desire for aheal

34、thful diet is pervasive and food products promising health benefitsabound. The future may prove even more creative, e.g. with “medica-lisation” of foods. Concerns may arise though, if individuals consumecocktails of nutr

35、ients and nutraceuticals in excess of recommendations,possibly even together with pharmaceuticals within the context ofpersonalised nutrition and personalised medicine. A regulatory frame-work may be needed for products

36、that fall outside the current nutritionand health claims legislations in the EU or in similar legal frameworksaround the globe.6. A possible futureThe areas identified for possible trade-offs give an indication for thein

38、een different policies is essential; the links betweenagricultural, food and nutrition or environmental policies are clear fromthese discussions but many others exist, e.g. to education, social, em-ployment and fiscal po

41、dpolicies need to be integrative and more sensitive to impacts on foodsafety and nutrition aspects. This will be key to achieve nutrition se-curity and healthy lifestyles while ensuring sufficiency and sustain-ability of

42、 production of safe and affordable foods on our way towards2050. This may not always result in a win-win outcome; collaborationbetween all stakeholders in the food chain and well-informed and en-gaged citizens will be in

43、dispensable to find compromises and securebenefits. Policy makers from local to global level and across the dif-ferent policy areas will have an important role to play. They can pro-vide the urgently needed frameworks an

44、d spaces for these discussionsto flourish. The spaces exist in many instances – inter-ministerial/sec-toral groups, stakeholder fora, roundtables, consumer groups, vocalNGOs - but need to be strengthened and more inclusi
