This is an archive of East Anglia Food Link's old website and no longer reflects our aims and objectives. We will shortly be launching a new website to present our current work and plans for the future.
EAFL's purpose is to help to build a food system that will continue to feed humanity as well as possible in the face of a number of increasingly urgent threats. The problems are relatively clear, the solutions more tentative. However, inaction is not an option so this website discusses our best current understanding of what a Resilient Food System looks like. We go on to describe What EAFL is doing and What You Can Do to help to bring about such resilient food systems.
