Abstract

Climate change is the greatest challenge the food chain faces, both in terms of its impact on the supply of food itself and the contribution that agriculture and food makes to a source of great danger to the planet, around a third of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The development of a policy response has been somewhat belated in part because of an understandable initial focus on the fossil fuel industries themselves. As in many other areas of food policy, solutions require changes in consumer as well as producer behaviour. The policy discussion needs to give greater attention to diet and food waste. A failure to mainstream agriculture and food at COP26 reflects broader issues about how the food system is treated as a policy problem. It is seen as a rather specialist and complex area with somewhat intractable problems.
