摘要：Recent trade frictions notwithstanding, the global economy is becoming increasing integrated and this poses challenges – as well as opportunities – for achieving agricultural sustainability. In this talk, I will explore the interplay between international trade and the food and environmental security outcomes from a range of local and regional policy interventions. For these purposes, I will employ a Global-Local-Global framework which permits assessment of the contribution of global drivers to local sustainability stresses, as well as analysis of the regional and global impacts of local sustainability policies. The talk will conclude with an introduction to GLASS, a new institution for the coordination and advancement of data, models and tools for Global to Local Analysis of Systems Sustainability.
