Trailer: Voices from the Food Frontlines, Pandemic and Beyond

Introducing a new public scholarship podcast series from the Feeding City Lab at the University of Toronto Scarborough. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, local food producers, grassroots networks, independent food businesses and social enterprises, and other food frontline actors fed their communities in the face of increased food insecurity, supply chain blockages, and widening social inequities. Research shows the urgent need for knowledge dissemination on local food stakeholders — food security advocates, community gardens, independent grocery stores, farmers, street and market vendors – who have developed and enacted innovative solutions against considerable logistical and social challenges. This educational podcast series, developed over 2022-2023 and coming to you from the Feeding City Lab at the University of Toronto Scarborough, features the voices of people active on the pandemic food frontlines, describing their experiences and practices for sustainable food futures. https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/projects/feedingcity/food-frontline-voices/
