One of my students, as part of a course a few semesters ago, worked with Dr Laura Hayes and members of this working group to do research on best practices to address food insecurity and climate change. I’d be glad to share that document.

Hi - I wholeheartedly Agree with Martha. Is/how is the Farm to Table Innovative in CT “Live Local - Eat Local” tied into this conversation. This directly related to climate change and health.

Martha, could you please put your email in the chat? Thank you!

martha1551@att.net

want to boost the Heather Aaron's point on strengthening small urban farms

this also facilitates the live local, eat local goal

and ideally strengthens food and nutrition security

Nourish Bridgeport is a good one

Grow Hartford is great

Green Village Initiative too

these are folks who need to provide their insights in platforms like these.

Sue Brown with the Purple Pantry is doing great work locally in Milford. https://purplepantryboxes.com/

Dr, Kristen Cooksey Stowers is a food/nutrition security and public health professor at UConn who would be an *excellent* resource for this work

How are we with looking ahead to crop and livestock strain that are more adaptable/resistance to drought, heat, flood?

Thank you
