Abstract

Food systems are affected by many different factors in complex ways. These influential factors are considered “drivers” when their impacts occur consistently over a period of time and thus durably alter food system activities and outcomes. Drivers may be endogenous to food systems, but many are independent and exogenous. Food system drivers may be governed or shaped by external actors, and impacts may be deliberate or unintentional. Drivers can affect every component of the food system, from food supply and environment to consumer demand. This chapter focuses on major macro-level drivers, which include environmental, socio-cultural, political and economic, and demographic drivers. The chapter also discusses the present-day challenges and future opportunities presented by innovation, technology, and infrastructure.
