“…This suggests an important opportunity for urban planners to think about food and food systems as an integral part of community resilience planning. There is already increasing interest in connecting food systems planning with urban sustainability efforts in many North American cities (Mendes, Balmer, Kaethler, & Rhoads, 2008;Napawan, 2014;Pothukuchi & Kaufman, 2000). Interest in linking climate change to issues related to food suggests a further opportunity to engage youth in community resilience planning.…”

In light of the socio-ecological complexities associated with climate vulnerability, planning for community resilience will require participatory techniques to engage those most vulnerable. In particular, youth set to inherit the predicted impacts of climate change must be engaged with the processes that determine the future of their built environments. Drawing from existing literature on youth-based participatory planning and climate engagement, this paper presents an alternative process for engaging youth in climate resilience planning by employing digital technology as a tool for youth-based evaluations of existing built environments. Using the pilot project #OurChangingClimate as a case study, the authors propose a new model for engaging youth with an understanding of their communities and their resilience or vulnerability to climate change. The article details the use of social media and digital narratives as tools for participatory resilience planning and presents some of the preliminary content generated in four pilot youth workshops held from 2015-2017. Lastly, implications of youth-generated content on climate resilience planning are discussed.

“…Once codified, regulations and ordinances are notoriously static (as evident in the zoning code currently in force in Buffalo, which is almost 50 years old) and closed to new ways in which the food systems may innovate in the future. Indeed, once food is no longer a stranger to planning professionals (Pothukuchi & Kaufman, 2000), informal, "under-the-radar," and potentially innovative practices of rebuilding of the food system may slow down.…”

“…Although food is no longer a stranger to the planning field (Pothukuchi & Kaufman, 2000), municipal planning departments remain slow to address the state of food systems in their communities. In 2008, only 30 percent of respondents to a survey of the members of the American Planning Association reported that their agencies were engaged in food systems planning, and respondents whose agencies did engage in food system planning worked largely for nonprofit organizations (Raja, Born, Kozlowski Russell, 2008).…”

“…Despite attention from the federal government, however, there has been a lack of recognition of the importance of local food systems by municipal governments. Limited attention and support has been directed to the development of farmers' markets in particular, and food system planning in general (Pothukuchi & Kaufman, 2000).…”

Farmers' markets play a vital role in local economic development by providing a site for local and small business incubation, creating an economic multiplier effect to neighboring businesses, and recycling customer dollars within the community. While several studies have evaluated characteristics of farmers' markets within single metropolitan areas, few have compared the impact of multiple markets in socioeconomically contrasting regions.This research compares shopping habits and economic impacts of customers at farmers' markets in two North American cities: Flint, Michigan, and London, Ontario. Overall, 895 market visitors completed surveys. We conducted statistical and spatial analyses to identify differences between these markets. Though geographically proximate and similar in metropolitan size, the two cities differ greatly in recent economic development, social vitality, and public health indicators. The objectives of this article are to quantify the impact that each market has on its local economy and contextualize these impacts in light of the place-specific attributes of each market.Results indicate that customers come from a mix of urban and suburban locations, but that key urban areas do not draw a substantial share of
