These risks propagate through food storage, processing, distribution, and ultimately access to safe and nutritious food, with socio-economic factors determining household vulnerability. The risk of climate impacts to European food systems is subject to uncertainties due to the complex interactions between climatic, ecological, and economic drivers, and the potential for simultaneous stressors both within Europe and globally. Strengthening resilience requires integrated adaptation strategies across production, supply chains, trade, and social protection, coupled with governance approaches that address systemic risks, promote sustainability, and ensure equitable access. Current EU policies address many relevant aspects, but lack coherence and ambition. While adaptation options exist for various climate risks, gaps remain in managing climate risks to food processing, transport, retail, and social vulnerability, highlighting the need for coordinated, forward-looking risk management and for developing strategies for transformative adaptation across the food system.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>DOI:<\/strong> 10.1016\/j.gfs.2026.100937<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><p>Article published in Global Food Security<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"author":80,"featured_media":0,"template":"","tags":[],"publication-type":[436],"topic_area":[],"class_list":["post-88079","publication","type-publication","status-publish","hentry","publication-type-research-articles"],"acf":{"exclude_from_sync":{"ref_value":"field_560538b0e7350","value":"0","type":false,"post_type":""},"show_translations_widget":{"ref_value":"field_6203d588c41e8","value":"0","type":false,"post_type":""},"downloads":{"ref_value":"field_52f16cc1a80f2","value":false,"type":"repeater","post_type":""},"rss_newsletter":{"ref_value":"field_54f5c2c1544d8","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""},"profile_link":{"ref_value":"field_52f164b5189e9","value":["elizabeth-robinson","shouro-dasgupta"],"type":"relationship","post_type":"profile"},"article_link":{"ref_value":"field_52eee3c7f0586","value":"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2211912426000350","type":false,"post_type":""},"article_link_title":{"ref_value":"field_5322399d89d42","value":"External link to article","type":false,"post_type":""},"spotlight":{"ref_value":"field_52f80896506d3","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""}},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
