Across the U.S., we’ve seen an alarming uptick in the cost and frequency of extreme weather and climate disasters.
Disasters test the resilience of communities and can have far-reaching effects on access to food-disrupting supply chains, damaging infrastructure, contributing to displacement, and threatening economic security. While much attention is paid in the immediate aftermath of a disaster, the road to recovery is long-particularly for communities already facing social, economic, and political barriers to equity.
This conversation will dive into the post-disaster landscape of food security. Panelists will examine how disasters disrupt food systems, exploring the policy and infrastructure failures that cause disasters to disproportionately impact marginalized communities. Panelists will discuss innovative strategies, collaborative efforts, and sustainable solutions that empower communities to recover, rebuild, and transform their food systems in the wake of a disaster.
