Armed conflict combined with prolonged drought has put about 20 million people at risk of starvation and death in Somalia, South Sudan, Yemen, and northern Nigeria. The international development and aid communities are caught between the enormity of the humanitarian crisis, which demands an estimated US$4.4 billion to address, and the lack of resources forthcoming from donors. Food crises, famine-like conditions, and famines recur with regularity in many developing countries (see Box 1 for definitions of terms). Although the current famines can be largely attributed to conflicts, chronic food insecurity also threatens several other African countries. For example, 6.7 million people were affected by Malawi’s largest food crisis in decades in 2016–2017, and the country remains vulnerable to weather extremes that could create food emergencies (World Bank 2017). In Kenya, food security has deteriorated since the end of 2016 and half of its 47 counties face food shortages (Chatterjee and Mengistu 2017). How do countries prepare to prevent shocks—natural and man-made—from generating food crises? What does it take to break the cycle of chronic food insecurity and build resilient food systems? How have some countries managed to prevent drought from leading to famine? In this brief, we document lessons for building resilient food systems to prevent future famines.

In this paper we undertake an analytical review of the extant literature on the building food system resilience. While the concept of food system resilience has become a topical issue in global and national policy discussion, there is little research on how to develop operational procedures to design and implement interventions from the food system and resilience perspective. This review identifies five major entry points to strengthen food system resilience in the national context: policy, institutions, technology, capacity, and governance. Measurement issues and analytical approaches to studying food system resilience are reviewed. We conclude that while there is a large gap in the methodological approaches to study the food system resilience, beginning with the case studies of understanding specific elements of a food system and their role in enhancing resilience would be good starting point for addressing thematic issues, challenges and constraints facing resilience of the food systems.

The food systems concept has attracted a considerable amount of attention as it provides an opportunity to better understand and represent the array of factors that explain food security in a comprehensive and holistic manner. The value-added proposition of food systems resilience is that the ability to respond to shocks and stressors may be incorporated into such explanations. The qualities that make food system resilience attractive, however, also make it difficult to model in empirical terms. This paper, by drawing on the literatures of food systems and on the measurement of resilience, demonstrates how food systems resilience can be measured at a country level. Clustering countries into regions shows that North America and Oceania have the highest levels of food systems resilience, followed by Europe and North Africa and Western Asia. Food systems resilience is lower in Latin America and the Caribbean and South Asia and sub-Saharan countries exhibited the lowest levels of food systems resilience. In low- and middle-income countries, increasing market resilience plays a significant role in increasing overall food systems resilience.

Over the past 50 years, the world’s food systems have evolved tremendously amid major economic, environmental, and social changes. Throughout this period, policy research has played a critical role in providing evidence and analysis to inform decision-making that supports agricultural growth, better livelihoods, and improved food security, nutrition, and well-being for all. As a special edition marking the Institute’s 50th anniversary, the 2025 Global Food Policy Report examines the evolution and impact of food policy research and assesses how it can better equip policymakers to meet future challenges and opportunities. The report’s thematic and regional chapters, written by leading IFPRI researchers and colleagues, explore the broad range of issues and showcase research related to food systems, from tenure and agriculture extension to social protection, gender, and nutrition to conflict, political economy, and agricultural innovation, and more. As we approach 2050, policy research and analysis will be essential to help end poverty and malnutrition by building sustainable healthy food systems.

Ancient Food Trade explores how the exchange of food transformed ancient civilizations, shaping culinary traditions and laying the groundwork for today's global cuisines. It examines the origins and routes of ancient food trade, the impact on regional cuisines, and the social and economic effects of controlling essential food resources. Intriguingly, the book highlights how food systems are deeply intertwined with cultural identity and economic power. For example, the spice trade wasn't just about flavor; it often dictated political alliances and economic dominance. The book progresses by first establishing the fundamentals of ancient trade routes and agricultural practices. It then investigates the growth of trade networks in Mesopotamia, the Mediterranean, and East Asia, detailing the specific goods traded and their cultural impacts. It draws upon archaeological findings, ancient texts, and archaeobotanical studies to support its arguments. The book differentiates itself by integrating archaeological, textual, and scientific data to provide a comprehensive understanding of ancient food systems, offering a nuanced view beyond a simple list of traded goods.

Silent Hunger Fades explores the untold stories of family resilience during historical famines, moving beyond victimhood narratives to highlight how families actively adapt, utilize social networks, and pursue long-term recovery. The book examines how kinship and community ties become crucial lifelines for resource sharing and mutual support during times of food scarcity. It also sheds light on the diverse adaptive strategies employed, such as foraging, migration, and careful resource allocation, illustrating the agency of families in ensuring their survival. The book progresses from establishing the causes of famine to examining adaptive strategies through case studies, then delves into the role of social networks, and culminates with an exploration of long-term recovery. By drawing on archival documents, oral histories, and anthropological studies, Silent Hunger Fades provides a deeply human perspective on this complex phenomenon. A key insight involves understanding how land ownership and economic diversification play pivotal roles in community rebuilding after famine. This unique approach offers valuable lessons for contemporary famine prevention and intervention efforts, emphasizing the importance of empowering communities and building long-term resilience.

Wartime Famines explores the tragic intersection of armed conflict and mass starvation throughout history, highlighting how war-induced famines have reshaped military and political landscapes. The book examines the deliberate use of famine as a weapon, the unintended disruption of food systems due to conflict, and the subsequent political and military repercussions. Delving into various historical periods and geographical locations, the study reveals that famines are not merely collateral damage but significant factors affecting the trajectory of wars and their aftermath. For instance, targeting food supplies has been strategically employed to weaken enemy populations, while warfare inherently disrupts agricultural cycles and humanitarian aid, leading to widespread starvation. This book uniquely emphasizes the agency of affected populations, showcasing their resilience and resourcefulness in the face of adversity. Examining specific case studies, from ancient sieges to 20th-century conflicts, each chapter focuses on a particular famine, its unique circumstances, and the responses of warring parties and international organizations. The book's approach combines primary documents, military archives, government reports, and eyewitness accounts to provide a comprehensive analysis. The book progresses by first establishing a conceptual framework, then moving to specific case studies, and finally analyzing the lessons learned for preventing future famines.

Potato Famine Impact explores the global journey of the potato, tracing its path from the Andes to its devastating impact during the Irish Potato Famine. It examines how a single crop reshaped societies and economies, while also highlighting the ecological vulnerabilities inherent in monoculture farming. The book reveals how the potato, initially domesticated in the Andes with diverse varieties, became a staple crop in Europe, particularly in Ireland, where reliance on a single variety led to catastrophe when potato blight struck. The book argues that the Irish Potato Famine was not solely due to potato blight (Phytophthora infestans) but a complex interplay of ecological vulnerability and socio-economic policies. The reliance on a single, genetically uniform potato variety created an agricultural system susceptible to widespread devastation, transforming a crop disease into a human catastrophe. By adopting a systems-thinking approach, the book integrates ecological, economic, and political factors to provide a comprehensive understanding of the famine. The book progresses by first introducing the potato's origins and botanical characteristics. It then examines its spread across Europe, focusing on its adoption in Ireland and the development of specific farming systems. Finally, it analyzes the impact of potato blight, emphasizing the social, economic, and political factors that exacerbated the crisis in Ireland, exploring the long-term consequences of the famine, including migration patterns and shifts in land ownership, demonstrating the interconnectedness of ecological, social, and historical forces.
