The North American Food Systems Network has released CARAT as a free, open-access resource. 

The Community & Agriculture Resilience Audit Tool (CARAT) helps community stakeholders assess how they currently utilize the assets of their local food system to achieve a substantial level of community resilience.

CARAT measures the resources within a food system via 101 indicators to determine possible next steps to increase community resiliency and food sovereignty.

This session will specifically be for those representing communities in Maryland who may be interested in using the tool.
