Strong relationships with various food system stakeholders have proven essential in inspiring coordinated action. Using the early results of a Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future survey of FPCs (2020), we discuss some of the accomplishments and contributions that 118 FPCs have made toward addressing hunger and supporting producers, school food, food chain workers, racial equity, and resilience in the United States and in tribal nations.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development}, author={Palmer, Anne and Atoloye, Abiodun and Bassarab, Karen and Calancie, Larissa and Santo, Raychel and Cooksey Stowers, Kristen}, year={2020}, month={Nov.}, pages={223–226} }
