Sustainable food systems aim to provide sufficient and nutritious food while maximizing climate resilience and minimizing environmental impacts. Yet historical practices, notably the Green Revolution, prioritized the single objective to maximize production over other nutritional and environmental dimensions. With a focus on the food-water-climate nexus, this lecture will present new and emerging approaches for measuring the current state of food system sustainability - with a focus on water - and will explore possible pathways to maintain humanity's achievements while overcoming past shortcomings of global food systems.
