In the wake of the devastation from recent hurricanes, this webinar gathers food systems leaders to explore strategies for supporting recovery and resilience of local and regional food systems in the face of natural and man-made disruptions. Panelists will highlight the interconnected efforts required to build resilient food systems, including lessons from past, current, and future initiatives. This webinar builds on the frameworks of the USDA’s Local and Regional Food Systems Resilience Playbook, which uses real-world examples to demonstrate how resilience is an ongoing, adaptive process shaped by community strengths and vulnerabilities. The discussion-based panel will explore how resilience requires engagement with diverse partners and maintaining inclusive networks before, during, and after a crisis. Join us to hear more about how the work of local and regional food systems is the work of resilience through their flexibility, diversity, and ability to adapt to changing conditions.
