Mapping Resilience: Exploring Salt Lake City’s Food System with Maria Schwarz

In this episode of Hunger Solutions in Utah, we welcome Maria Schwarz, the Food System Resilience Program Manager for Salt Lake City, to discuss the City Food Assessment. This groundbreaking initiative examines Salt Lake City’s entire food system from production to waste identifying assets, challenges, and opportunities for a more sustainable and equitable future.

Join us as we explore key findings from the assessment, uncover disparities in food access across neighborhoods, and discuss innovative solutions for building a resilient food system. Maria also shares insights into creating a comprehensive food system map and how community members can get involved in shaping Salt Lake City’s food future. Tune in to learn how local food policies, programs, and partnerships are driving change and what you can do to support food security and resilience in your community.
