Think of it like a food chain versus a food web. A food chain is a single line: one link breaks, and the whole thing goes down. A food web is interconnected. If one strand is disrupted, the rest of the system holds steady. Our food supply works the same way. The more connected and diverse it is, the more resilient it becomes. A food system supported by many small and mid-size farms works like that web. If one farm has a problem, others can continue supplying food, reducing the impact of any single issue. That’s the idea behind strong local food networks, and it’s the approach we support at OKC Food Hub by connecting growers across Oklahoma. Want to be part of a stronger, more diversified food web?
