Re-Regionalizing the Food System

Description:

The effects of the Coronavirus pandemic on the food system have been intensified by the war in Europe. Now more than ever, the importance of reliable supply chains is acknowledged at the consumer level. We will discuss the benefits of transitioning from large industrial farms back to local farms and ranches, and how to use traditional waste products to create nutrient-dense and sustainable options for consumers.
