#PuertoRicans are devising the #FoodSystem of tomorrow

by Ayurella Horn-Muller, September 3, 2025

Excerpt: "In the wake of #HurricaneMaria, many residents of #PuertoRico, especially those working to improve the archipelago’s local food system, began to think about hurricane preparedness differently. Because they weren’t able to rely on federal assistance, they decided to build their own prototypes of #resilience, which didn’t just set them up to be ready for the next storm, but also set them up to live better everyday lives. #Cooperatives, #gardens, and school-based agricultural programs emerged to fill the gaps left by the government. #Barter networks and local farmers markets have become increasingly popular. #MutualAid kitchens and community-led supermarkets have also expanded their work, ramping up donations, surplus food, and partnerships with nearby producers. These projects aren’t just temporary disaster responses. They are models of long-term resilience and food independence. They are living blueprints of what food sovereignty could look like in Puerto Rico — and elsewhere."

I'll be the solo #LifeCyclesProjectSociety representative at Food Future - Capital Region - General Public W4. Hosted/facilitated by #FutureXplorations Research Group - KPU, at Esquimalt Gorge Park Pavilion.

Join us in an unprecedented island-wide #initiative to build a resilient, #sovereign #FoodSystem rooted in #sustainability and #equity.

This is not just another project. It’s a call to action. Your voice matters. Your lived experience matters. Real change must come from the ground up—and we believe solutions must be shaped by those most impacted.

We are committed to empowering our communities and co-creating a future where everyone has access to healthy, locally-grown #food —no matter the political or economic climate.

This is your moment. Let’s come together. Let’s lead the way.

Join us. Speak up. Be part of the change.

#FreeEvent - please reserve your tickets in advance.

These insights can also be used for other instances of abrupt sunlight reduction scenarios, such as by #supervolcano or #asteroid impact.

This enhanced #resilience of our #FoodSystem after catastrophes is just one of the reasons we should use more seaweed. It can also be used to sequester carbon from the atmosphere and the #FAO regularly writes reports which advice us to grow more seaweed now to enhance our global #FoodSecurity.
