From evaluating how disasters impact the agri-food supply chain to understanding ways to facilitate positive change, the Reimagining Resilient Agri-food Supply Chains course explores issues surrounding the safety, security, and efficiency of our food production and distribution system. With a better understanding of capacities and structural vulnerabilities of regional food systems, we can be better prepared to support our populations and their needs.
Join us for this learning opportunity to discover what causes agri-food supply chain delays and potential solutions for managing disruptions in the future. This course is offered completely virtually so participants can learn at their own pace. It’s easy to build into your own schedule, with about 4-6 hours of total course content to work through. Our team is excited to share valuable, research-based information in an accessible and engaging online format.

“Participants will learn how to use data from our consumer survey on food purchasing behaviors to make better decisions on their preferred outlets and logistics for selling their products and making supply chain response decisions,” said Lauri Baker, Center for Rural Enterprise Engagement (CREE) co-creator and UF/IFAS associate professor in agricultural education and communication.
This is the second time the course will be offered this year.
“Because the course was so popular and filled the last time, we are offering it again with those from the waiting list getting the first chance to join. This new offering will give the opportunity for more people to take the course,” Baker said.
