John Patrick Connors Co-authors Paper on Food System Sustainability

John Patrick Connors, a post-doctoral associate at the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future, recently co-authored a paper titled “Identifying attributes of food system sustainability: emerging themes and consensus” published in the journal Agriculture and Human Values. 

In the paper, the authors identify five attributes of food system sustainability – diversity, modularity, transparency, innovation, and congruence – that consistently emerge across diverse contexts, such as food security, human economic welfare, and biodiversity. They argue that these five attributes, while likely not the only relevant factors, can serve as a useful guide for enhancing food system sustainability.
