A Vision of the Food System, 2045 CE: Materiality Methods Can Define What Is Resilient and Critical †.

This keynote and future paper summarises the methods that are being utilised to define the requirements of national populations' natural resource demands for the consumption of food and beverage products so that strategies may be more effectively developed to deal with crises. The methods are presented as part of a material analysis of the UK food supply system, and they are used to demonstrate sustainable practices in food manufacturing. Our current conclusions show that the limiting factors in the food system must be focussed on human-centred activities that interact with material flows, which are often overlooked in sustainability assessments. This is critical if we intend to tackle issues of security, resilience, and sustainability incisively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
