Figures

**Fig. 1**
Schematic of the UK food chain as a “representative” for the western world. Numbers represent the number of actors at each of the chain, size of each part of the chain is getting smaller to represent the relative number of actors.

**Fig. 2**
Network analysis of journals published in Scopus for the last 5 years for “food security” and “resilience” (a) “resilience” relationship; (b) fully connected graph of all key terms. Size of the bubbles represents more frequently used terms while thicker connectors correspond to more frequent co-occurrence of terms.
