Catalyzing Adaptive and Resilient Food Systems Workshop
This event brings together diverse perspectives, from climate scientists to crop biologists, to discuss climate adaptive and resilient food systems.
Climate change disasters threaten agricultural productivity, food stability, and rural community resilience around the world. This workshop brings together diverse perspectives, from climate scientists and social scientists to crop biologists and ecologists, to address the challenges and opportunities associated with developing climate adaptive and resilient food systems.
The workshop will cover climate adaptation and mitigation synergies, managing risk interactions, operational responses to climate change, and strategies to enable justice in agricultural and food systems. Each session will engage science and policy experts from the field, and will include interactive online participation from local and state government, agricultural firms and commodity boards, communities, and researchers. The goal of the workshop is to generate productive discussions and build working groups that highlight emerging science on climate change impacts experienced by various food systems, agricultural sectors, and communities.
