Food Systems and Network Leadership Lessons From the Pandemic

The past year has created pressing new demands on social service providers, including food banks, nonprofits, and other food-related organizations. While the food systems sector was already a hub for collaborative innovation, COVID-19 further accelerated the importance of network leadership skills and strategy for those working on issues like nutrition, food security, environmental justice, and more.

On July 29th, Visible Network Labs and the CU Denver Center on Network Science brought together a diverse group of coalition builders and network leaders focused on improving our food systems. They joined us for an hour of discussion on what has changed over the past 12 months due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, identifying new challenges as well as new opportunities for network-led change.
