Local food production (LFP) can play an important role in ensuring access to during supply chain disruptions. Because the drafting, adoption, and implementation of policies regulating LFP is under purview local governments many U.S. states, researchers at University Florida, Institute Food Agricultural Sciences Extension conducted a study assess whether COVID-19 affected government stakeholders’ (LGS) (N=92) perspectives on that responding public health emergencies.

Abstract The global trend of urbanization coupled with an increasing awareness the importance food systems resilience, has led to interest in urban agriculture sustainably feed rapidly growing population and mitigate against supply chain disruptions. While home community gardens have been long studied, there relatively little empirical research focused specifically on commercial (CUA) operations. purpose this study was characterize farms, identify their primary barriers business development...
Food waste is a critical problem in the U.S. and globally. Most household food landfilled, with just small proportion composted. Household accounts for substantial amount of problem, but because it occurs privacy people’s homes, we have limited understanding it, hindering our ability to create policies or programs address issue.
