Abstract

This paper concerns Food Security and the capturing and understanding of the potential usefulness of the notion of Resilience in that context. An important representative research project working on the complex problem space of Food Security and Resilience is the I KNOW FOOD (IKF) project. Work with the researchers engaged on this project is used here to demonstrate the approach presented. This approach is based on Systems Thinking and the capturing and building of a Holon of the problem space in order to discover, understand and evaluate the far-reaching effects of the role of resilience in Food Security. This approach also underscores the need for grounding the ‘acknowledging’ and use of holistic views of the problem space of such complex problems. By doing this, it moves forward from simply adopting a holistic stance, that of-introducing and including more people, components and issues,-to offering ways to examine the resulting interrelationships.
