Building Climate Resiliency Through Local Food Networks
“Buying locally, buying from something like a food hub, building up that local ecosystem, that resiliency, allows us to fall back on the local community and local producers. Because if we try to build up those things when we need them, it’s going to be really hard.”
By Cari Holst - This recording is live from our Climate and Commerce storytelling event during Billings Climate Week in partnership with SustainaBillings and Families for a Livable Climate.
“You see people who have land that has been in their family for generations and they have children, they have grandchildren, so they are more connected to the commitment of making sure that land can continue to produce for generations and generations.”
