Deux événements importants – le Sommet des Nations Unies sur le développement durable 2015 et la COP21, sur le développement et le changement climatique, ont donné lieu à des engagements concrets et sans précédent à l’échelle mondiale pour éradiquer la pauvreté d’ici à 2030 et promouvoir la protection de l’environnement.

On observe depuis les années 2000 la volonté des acteurs de la sécurité alimentaire de rapprocher résilience et sécurité alimentaire. Ce rapprochement n’apparaît cependant pas si évident au vu de la diversité d’éléments de langages utilisés pour les associer.

Y aurait-il ainsi plusieurs concepts de résilience ?
