Post summary (feel free to suggest edits!): Highlights for ALLFED in 2022 include:
Submitted 4 papers to peer review (some now published)
Started to develop country-level preparedness and response plans for Abrupt Sunlight Reduction Scenarios (US plan completed).
Worked on financial mechanisms for food system interventions, including superpests, climate food finance nexus, and pandemic preparedness.
Delivered briefings to several NATO governments and UN agencies on global food security, nuclear winter impacts, policy considerations and resilience options.
Appeared in major media outlets such as BBC Future and The Times.
Improved internal operations, including registering as a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
Hired 6 research associates, 4 operations roles, 5 interns, and 42 volunteers.
ALLFED is funding constrained and gratefully appreciates any donations. The heightened geopolitical tensions from the Russo-Ukrainian conflict create a time-limited policy window for bringing their research on food system preparedness to the forefront of decision makers’ minds.
