This panel explores how different aspects of food resilience — usually considered in isolation — can be connected. Farmers are natural experts in embedding resilient approaches on-farm. Food resilience is rising up national and local government agendas, in the face of food supply shocks and stresses. Those ultimately impacted — the public — rarely feature in discussions. What lessons from farm risk management and diversification could help inform approaches to embedding resilience? How can we ensure farmers and citizens are better represented in food resilience policy? How can farmers support their local citizens to improve their own resilience?
