AgriFish: Linking alternative agrifood and seafood networks to build food systems resilience
In 2022, the AgriFish Resilience project was established with the goal of responding to this broad problem with funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). This project emerged from the recognition that there is substantial opportunity for learning and knowledge sharing across the agriculture and fisheries sectors to build theory and practice about food system resilience to shocks. AgriFish brings together team members from industry organizations, food policy councils, non-profit organizations, and universities from across multiple locales in Canada and US and is involved in both agriculture and fisheries research, policy, and organizing. The goal is to engage in collaborative learning and collective problem-solving across sectors with an aim to strengthen resilience. Boomark this page to check back for updates!
