Abstract: Emergency food planning is an emerging field of study and practice evolving from lessons learned about the need to be prepared to respond to increased food insecurity in the face of emergency events. In this era of climate change, geo-political conflicts, and growing inequality, disruptions to the global food system are occurring more frequently. Many of these disruptions have the potential to impact food access on a large scale, a reality that communities need to be ready for through preparation to mitigate impacts.
