  1. What Constitutes a Resilient Food System? Event 392 World Conservation Congress, Jeju, Korea, September 6-15, 2012 • C.J. Idrobo & I.J. Davidson-Hunt • Natural Resources Institute • University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada The Role of Biodiversity, Sites, and Mobility in Crafting Resilient ‘Foodscapes’ An Example from Paraty, Brazil

  2. Coastal Food Landscapes Network Access: Institutions, Perception, Practice Local Knowledge Harvestingpractice Household my Biological Diversity Exchange Domestic consumption Affordances Political Economy/Ecology Wage Labour

  3. Availability • Watershed functions • Coastal/Marine functions • Soil processes • Wild pollinators • Predator-Pest regulation • Climate regulation • Grazing / fodder • Freshwater • Edible plants and animals • Agrobiodiversity • Access • Income from agriculture, fishing, forestry, energy production, tourism, payments for ecosystem services etc. • Non-timber forest products and marketable goods • Direct sources of food and freshwater • Social equity and rights • Utilization • Human health • Water purification • Disease regulation • Diversity in diet • Nutrient rich food • Medicine • Energy – Fuel Connecting food security, ecosystems and landscapes Stability (through sustainable management of ecosystems) • Governance: • Conflict resolution • Land tenure • Social equity and access rights • Role of women in food production, health and nutrition • Self-organisation, voice and empowerment • Institutional learning/ adaptation Biodiversity conservation Sustainable provision of ecosystem goods and services Natural Infrastructure for stability and disaster risk reduction: e.g. flood regulation, drought mitigation, disease regulation, soil retention, coastal protection

  9. Urban centre Sea Fish Markets (reached through fish buyers) Flows of materials Beach Shacks (fish storage) Sea/coast harvested Land harvested Extra local Gated community Beach (landing site) Restaurants Grocery stores Forest Home gardens/ Agriculture plots Sea and coast capture sites HH1 Trails/ harvesting sites HH2 HH3 Community (Households – HH)

  10. Sources of Food: When?

  11. Local History and Sources of Food?”

  12. Resilient Food Landscapes • Complex systems that require empirical understanding of the structural elements (species), harvest sites (habitats), and mobility (infrastructure) • Require the availability of species and habitats and the ability to move within the landscape to access, process and exchange elements • Draw upon different elements and sites across seasons • Adapt over historic periods of time
