Title Low-hanging fruits are sometimes the sweetest: how tree-sourced foods can help transform the global food system Media name/outlet ISS Blog -BLISS Media type Web Country/Territory Netherlands Date 31/03/21 Description The global food system is dominated by a limited number of actors and mainly focusses on the production of only a handful of relatively innutritious foods. The system in its current shape threatens livelihoods of small-scale farmers, does not meet the nutritional needs of the majority of the global population, and is causing severe environmental impacts such as deforestation and biodiversity loss. A recent study shows that the elevation of small-scale tree-sourced food systems can help contribute to a transformation of the global food system that would lead to improved environmental and human well-being.
