Food system literacy resources

I've been poking around on line as I develop some supporting resources to take to the General Convention. The Association of Episcopal Deacons (AED) is advocating for the passage of resolution A091.

One thing I learned at our spring deanery meeting (Episcopal congregations in Sonoma and Mendocino counties) is that some folks involved in food ministries have good and generous impulses but lack an up-to-date food system vocabulary and knowledge base.

Here's a fun food system literacy quiz I found on the Food Day (US version) page:

(I got all fifteen questions correct, but it wasn't easy.)

And here's a pretty good Local and Regional Food System glossary from Cornell:
