Food Systems, Climate and Resilience Dialogues

Part 1: Emergency Planning and Food Resilience: Strengthening our Food Supply

In Partnership with Island Food Hubs and the Comox Valley Food Policy Council, LUSH Valley Food Action Society is proud to present our February Dialogues Series: the Food Systems, Climate and Resilience Dialogues.

We hope you will join us for one or both of these important conversations surrounding the food systems issues we are currently facing and how we can move forward together effectively.

Each Dialogue will feature a diversity of panel experts, providing their stories and insights, followed by an opportunity for small group discussions on our next steps.

In this Dialogue, we will discuss the ways food resilience can improve as a result of effective emergency planning and strengthening of the food supply.
