A Food System Under Strain
We live in a time of resource decline and climate instability. The resources needed to grow, harvest, and distribute food to keep the world's eight billion-plus of us well are more challenging to secure now.
We are all experiencing the strain in real time: rising food costs, smaller serving sizes, inconsistent availability of foods, and changes in the quality, all signs that our global food system is stressed.
Why Local Food Systems Matter
Whether your income is high or low, record numbers of people are financially struggling to make ends meet. Now, more than ever, we need local food systems to be robust to address local food access.
Even if 50% of our nutrient needs could be met within a 400-mile radius, we would be well on our way to having a more resilient food system.
Now is the time to build resilient communities with a local food system.
