New England Feeding New England: Food System Resilience

Join The Foodshed Forum and Connecticut Food System Alliance for a discussion about New England's potential to be more resilient against climate change and racially and economically just through food. They will present research from, “New England Feeding New England: A Regional Approach to Food System Resilience.”

The presentation by Meg Hourigan, Coordinator of Connecticut Food System Alliance, will outline the opportunities and challenges in our regional food supply chains and employment; transition to climate-smart and adaptive food production processes that increase food security; and maintain more local, sustainable, and equitable stewardship of land and water.

Opening remarks by Ali Ghiorse, Co-Founder of The Foodshed Forum, will provide context about the industrial food system’s dependency on practices contributing to racial and economic injustice, diet-related disease, biodiversity loss, water pollution and depletion, soil erosion and degradation, and climate change.
