Food system lessons from vermont

Abstract

HUMAN ACTIVITIES ARE UNDERMINING the life support systems of the planet and triggering catastrophic changes. Today, on land, sea, and in the air, the signs of resource depletion, ecosystem degradation, and anthropogenic climate change are widespread. Food system activities are both a major driver of these changes and particularly vulnerable to them. The ability of food systems to prepare, mitigate, and adapt will be a major challenge for all societies.
