Achieving food security worldwide raises a number of issues with regard to the distribution of global resources. On the one hand, access to resources and ecospace is essential for individuals in order to survive; on the other hand, the allocation of the earth’s resources as well as risks and responsibilities are relevant for the global community. Yet, elements of access and allocation are various and complex, encompassing social, environmental, and economic dimensions in an increasingly fragmented global governance structure. Drawing on the multidisciplinary governance framework on access and allocation by Gupta and Lebel, this paper provides a synoptical review of the literature on food security of the past decade from the perspective of the earth system governance scholarship. This article addresses the question: what have we learnt about access and allocation issues in the area of food governance and its implications for food security? In addressing this question, this review examines how institutions, norms and power affect access to and allocation of resources. The paper draws out key trends and lessons from the literature to conclude that research needs to be sensitive to the complexity and intersectionality of food, the systemic challenges that it poses, and the broader political economy around it.

粮食治理中的获取和分配，十年期观点 2008-2018

在全球范围内实现粮食安全会引发与全球资源分配有关的许多问题。一方面，获取资源和生态空间对于个人生存至关重要；另一方面，地球资源的分配以及风险和责任与全球社会息息相关。然而，获取和分配的要素多种多样且复杂，包括日益分散的全球治理结构中的社会、环境和经济维度。本文借鉴 Gupta 和 Lebel 关于获取和分配的多学科治理框架，从地球系统治理学术的角度对过去十年有关粮食安全的文献进行了概要回顾。这篇文章解决了这个问题：我们对粮食治理领域的获取和分配问题及其对粮食安全的影响有何了解？在解决这个问题时，本次审查考察了制度、规范和权力如何影响资源的获取和分配。该论文从文献中总结出关键趋势和经验教训，得出的结论是，研究需要对食物的复杂性和交叉性、它带来的系统性挑战以及围绕它的更广泛的政治经济保持敏感。
