摘要

The conceptual foundations of food security governance highlight its inherent complexity, both substantive and procedural. This chapter proposes an integrated framework for understanding food security governance in times of crisis, focusing on the critical roles of street-level bureaucrats (SLBs) in shaping adaptive, equitable, and resilient responses. Drawing from the literature on collaborative governance, learning, and street-level bureaucracy, it presents the “Concatenation of Mechanisms” as an analytical lens to grasp dynamic processes that bring together public institutions, private actors, and civil society to co-create and implement effective solutions and manage creeping crises. The CM framework illustrates the sequential interplay of learning and trust-building across different institutional levels. The chapter analyses foundations of institutional capacity and responsiveness by embedding co-creation, procedural adaptability, and horizontal collaboration into food aid programs.
