Food System Resilience: A Planning Guide for Local Governments is a resource guide aimed at helping local governments build food system resilience in a way that promotes equitable and just food systems.
Natural and human-made disasters challenge food systems, affecting many people, especially those from communities already managing many inequities and vulnerabilities. Local governments around the United States have started to take action to help prepare for and prevent the consequences of these disruptions on their food systems, but there is limited information available to support local governments in this work.
Local governments can play an essential role in food system preparedness and response through shaping food environments, providing emergency food, connecting local food system actors and communities, and planning at community scale. GET THE RESOURCE
