Growing community resilience through food

Building resilience is critical for everyone.

Resilience enhances our health and well-being and strengthens our  community's capacity to face challenges ahead.

Food is a vital factor in fostering resilience in our communities, our environment, and our health.

On Resilience

 

As we look to the future, our commitment to a brighter and more resilient world through food remains stronger than ever. We are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and the positive changes we can create together. 

Building resilience is critical for everyone, whether it's enhancing our health and well-being or strengthening a community's capacity to face challenges ahead. Food is often underestimated as a vital factor in fostering resilience in our communities, environment, economy, and physical and mental health. 

We are proud to share stories from changemakers who are leveraging the power of food to build resilience for themselves, their neighborhoods, communities, regions, and beyond. These stories highlight the incredible impact that food can have in nurturing our bodies, supporting our communities, and sustaining our food and farm system. 

Together, we are harnessing the power of food to create a more resilient and prosperous future for us all. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us. 

With appreciation,
