Resilient Food Systems
The Food Systems team at Iowa State University Extension and Outreach partnered with local organizations in five place-based communities to study the impact of climactic events and COVID-19. The locations include counties, regions, and territories across the United States. The intent of this research is to understand the level of resilience each community has within their food system. Each report details findings related to community values, interest in local and regional foods and purchasing practices, impacts from COVID and climactic events, and identified priorities for increasing resilience.
Throughout the spring of 2023, each community will work toward a priority area, and the Iowa State team will evaluate the impact of the project.
