| Abstract | Background/Aim: Contemporary agriculture and the globalised food system are at a presumptive crossroads. With hunger increasing and environmental degradation rampant, the ‘Zero Hunger’ Sustainable Development Goal highlighted the necessity of integrating global environmental sustainability with food security efforts, advocating for the uptake of ‘sustainable food production systems’. How this will be realised in practice represents a major challenge. Against a backdrop of corporate-led agricultural intensification efforts, a long-term participatory-led research model in Malawi has been exploring the impact of agroecological and food sovereignty approaches on food security in smallholders. The purpose of this scoping review was to identify and reflect on the challenges and opportunities for transforming the food system by considering the outcomes from Malawi. |
