Summary
The global development research theme of Future Earth is identified as most closely aligned with global food security and very dependent on supply chains. The four focal challenges most sensitive to the influence of supply chains are identified and described. The concept of supply chains is explained from first principles and expanded to cover the global food supply. The potential effects of climate change on food supply chains are examined. The importance of supply chains in securing key aspects of global food security and providing for the continuing development of good health and well-being are demonstrated and shown to be critical to the success of the broader aims of Future Earth.
