Although the term “regional food system” is used more frequently these days, regional food systems are inadequately understood and valued. A Regional Imperative: Making the Case for Regional Food Systems a takes a comprehensive look at regional food systems and makes a compelling case for their importance in food systems change work. Ruhf and Clancy will present the key concepts of the report, along with examples from the field. They will distill the report material into digestible “take-aways” for food system practitioners, educators, policymakers, funders, researchers and advocates.
