Building Resilient Food Systems: Applying Lessons from Disaster Response

-

With food system and supply chain shocks increasing in frequency and severity due to climate change, public health emergencies, and conflict, the need for a resilient multi-level food system has become ever more apparent. Over the course of the pandemic, the public, private, and nonprofit sectors of food supply and distribution have responded with unprecedented speed and creativity to the challenges created by the lockdown and its aftermath. In this session, food system stakeholders from academia, industry, and policy will discuss the lessons and strategies for responding to disasters while simultaneously building a more nutritious, equitable, and sustainable food system that is equipped for the future.
