    Food systems affect and are affected by climate change. As a result, global food security is at threat, requiring urgent mitigation and adaptation efforts. Food systems offer several opportunities for achieving that, often associated with co-benefits for human health and environmental protection. This Collection brings together a few articles published in Nature Food on climate risks and impact assessment, mitigation and adaptation strategies, as well as ‘win-win’ solutions able to deliver both.
