To better understand the impact of the pandemic and help create a more resilient food system, Trent University researchers are working with multiple emergency food organizations.
Professor Classens, an assistant professor of Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems at Trent, along with Trent researchers are collaborating with, Farms at Work, the Peterborough Food Action Network and Future of Food and Farming working group, to better understand the ethical, social, and ecological challenges and other barriers to creating a thriving food system.
Prompted by challenges such as climate change, the urbanization of farmland, food insecurity, inequitable distribution and how these issues impact communities across Ontario, this research will help create more localized solutions that increase access to healthy food in our local regions.
