Abstract
This report introduces foodscapes. Foodscapes are the geographical components of the global food system, a combination of production system and place that represents the world food system spatially. Mapping and analyzing foodscapes reveal the transitions needed on the ground to meet this century’s most pressing challenge: the threats posed by climate change, biodiversity loss, and increased demand on the integrity of the global food system.
