It’s hot out. 

And if you feel like it's been getting hotter every year, you'd be right - the trend has been consistent since the early 2000s. Climate change is here; it is not off in a distant future. But what does this have to do with the food system?

The food system is a problematic yet promising two-sided coin when it comes to climate change and its effects. It’s local, yet global. It's a huge driver of climate change and inequity, yet it’s exactly where some of the most amazing changes can take place, from the ground up (and back again) to heal our planet, and us.

Solutions will require teamwork, innovation and grit, but luckily, that's exactly what food councils bring people together to do. If you haven’t gotten the chance to make it to one of our meetings, we welcome you to join us and see what local food systems change looks like in practice!
