Increase the food system’s climate resiliency by reducing its contribution to greenhouse gas emissions.
Increase the food system’s climate resiliency.
A foodshed is the geographic area spanning from where food is produced to where it is consumed—including the land it grows on, the route it travels, the markets it passes through, and the tables it ends up on. One way we can invest in our foodshed is by aligning around a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated from the food system.
