Panel discussion: the resilience of food systems

In the wake of Covid-19, the war in Ukraine and escalating food costs, how has our vision of food system resilience changed? And how do we achieve this new ideal? These questions and more will be explored in this panel discussion in partnership with Foods Connected. 

We asked what food system resilience really is, and explored how supplier diversification, traceability, education, and the adoption of new tech and data developments can all play their part in developing a more robust food system.  

Learning objectives:

  • To identify the strategies needed to fortify systems against future shocks
  • To explore diversification and what it means to the supplier pool
  • To understand the benefits of a digital infrastructure and how it can anticipate when issues may arise
  • To engage with the steps needed to move towards a sustainable, less impactful food system
  • To analyse the importance of transparent supply chains in building resilience
