Tropentag is the largest interdisciplinary conference in Europe focusing on development-
oriented research in the fields of tropical and subtropical agriculture, food security,
natural resource management and rural development. It is clear that a just and sustainable
transformation of our food systems is urgently needed: climate change, conflicts, rising
food and fuel prices, and growing social and income inequalities are exacerbating
the vulnerabilities of our food systems. The theme invites diverse contributions that explore different pathways for transforming
food systems and the trade-offs and synergies involved, ranging from more technical
solutions, such as climate-smart agriculture and biofortified crops, to more systematic
solutions for changing the underlying relationships of our food systems, such
as agroecology and alternative food networks.
