This project will focus on capturing data from communities that experience the greatest inequities. The Food Resilience Plan will consider the full food system (food production, processing, distribution, access, consumption and food waste recovery), and the hazards and vulnerabilities that when combined could lead to a food system disruption. The purpose of the plan is to ensure Calgary has a well-functioning food system where food is consistently available, accessible (both physically and economically) and acceptable for all Calgarians, before, during and after a disruptive event. The City of Calgary will work with stakeholders to develop and implement a Food Resilience Plan for Calgary. Those communities with the most vulnerabilities are at the greatest risk.

Climate change, high energy prices, increasing world population, urbanization, geopolitical disturbances and other crisis events can disrupt Calgary’s food system functioning. Natural and non-natural disasters can directly and indirectly affect people and the functioning of food systems.

Ensuring an adequate, healthy food supply for all Calgarians requires a strong food system that can adapt to local and global challenges.
