Part 2 takes a look at the impact of climate change on food -
how we may create a food system that is resilient enough if fuel grows scarce, weather gets more severe, and traditional supply chains are hampered.
I talk with Philip Ackerman-Leist,
farmer, college professor and author of
Rebuilding the Foodshed:
How to Create Local, Sustainable
and Secure Food Systems.
In this Community Resilience Guide, Philip Ackerman shares some of the most promising, replicable models for growing, processing, and distributing sustainably grown food, and points us toward the next stages of the food revolution.
You might be interested in the other Community Resilience Guides published in affiliation with the Post Carbon Institute:

This series looks at how our changing climate
is changing the world we live in, locally and globally.
I was inspired to produce this series by The Climate Reality Project,
founded and chaired by former Vice President and Nobel Laureate Al Gore,
http://climaterealityproject.org/
In August 2012, I was trained by Al Gore and The Climate Reality Project
to educate about climate change and became one of the more than 4000 volunteer climate leaders. This series is part of my contribution
to education about climate change.
