Bethany Mead reflects on the programme : “Formal opportunities have led to informal connections and increased collaboration”. Greater interactions - both formal and informal - across the food system are essential in building resilience.

@LisaMCollins80 reflects on the benefits of the GFS FSR project, from a Principal Investigator (PI) perspective: “One of the greatest benefits of the project has been that we have come to understand each other’s languages, backgrounds and approaches to build resilience”
