Food Systems Development

Resource Brochure & List

Explore resources in this online list by five main theme areas related to food systems development and climate change adaptation - (1) Networking/Information Sharing, (2) Policy/Strategy, (3) Research, (4) Funding, and (5) Training. These resources highlight specific assets related to planning for local and/or traditional food systems development in order to support practitioners and communities in strengthening local action and further partnerships in the territory. The food systems resources compiled herein were chosen based on their relevance to climate change adaptation, both from a preventative (targeting a systems vulnerability to climate change in an attempt to prevent negative impacts) or mitigative (targeting a systems ability to reduce greenhouse gases) standpoint.
