The Covid-19 pandemic seems to have caught the world unaware and food systems have not been spared. To prepare for a similar possible crisis that might occur in the future, it is important that we build resilient food systems by developing strengths against shocks. This can be facilitated by identifying resilience attributes. One such attribute is the creation of relatively independent, self-reliant nodes such that failure of one node does not threaten the collapse of the entire food system. Food systems should also have the ability to induce widespread innovations within themselves to be considered resilient. Find out more about other important attributes of a resilient food system from the journal articles below.
