Scenario You have been hired as an environmental scientist for a local firm. For your first project, you are asked to construct a food resiliency plan for your firm. Given our changing global climate, growing population, overuse and scarcity of resource, such a management plan for the production and distribution of food is crucial. The goal of this proposed plan is to reduce waste and CO2 emissions contributed by your firm. Instructions Construct a detailed management plan for food resiliency. Your plan should consist of three separate paragraphs, (5-7 sentences in length) and should contain the following elements: Your first paragraph should specify where and how your company will source its food given a goal year (e.g., 2030).

Your second paragraph should specify steps or measures that will be taken to move the firm towards this food resiliency plan. This paragraph should highlight the phasing out of foods sourced from farms that use pesticides/chemicals. Your third paragraph should discuss the potential reduction in food miles and CO2 emissions that would be achieved by the end date. This paragraph should highlight the end goal of reducing food miles and reducing CO2 emissions through sourcing food from local sources. Resources International Institute for Environment and Development This resource discusses recycling, reusing, and the combining of resources to reduce food miles and reliance upon fossil fuels in sourcing and transporting food.
