This book, edited by my colleagues Prajal Pradhan and Laxmi Prasad Pant, examines the relationship between food systems and sustainability, exploring wh transforming the food system is a vital step in achieving sustainability that extends beyond the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Here you find a short summary of the book, to which many authors contributes, each focusing on one of the SDGs in relation to food.

Stephen Leitheiser, Pablo Tittonell, Ellen-Maarja Trell and I wrote a chapter on SDG11.8 which aims to reconnect rural and urban areas, enabling interactions between farmers and consumers. Based on the principles of post-growth agriculture we show examplary cases from both the global North and global South, illuminating the pathways towards practicing the principles of sustainable food systems.
