Two significant reports, “A Regional Approach to Food System Resilience” and “Wildlands in New England: Past, Present, and Future,” produced by the New England Food System Planners Partnership and Wildlands, Woodlands, Farmlands, and Communities, respectively, provide important insights into the supply chains of the New England food system and the preservation of wildlands. Only by taking an integrated approach in partnership with rural and urban communities that simultaneously pursues a just and resilient food system while stewarding biodiversity through the conservation of wildlands, woodlands and more can we build a flourishing and democratic future. The good news is that we are not far off from realizing this approach. ~ Tom Kelly, UNH Sustainability Institute
