For something as critical as food, it is common sense that society 
should design for resilience. Reliability in food production in the face 
of change requires a system capable of rapid evolution. Resilience is 
therefore a core principle of sustainability. Unfortunately, our daily 
bread relies on a food system that is not resilient. As I have explained 
before, this state of affairs is an outcome of government policies, 
financial pressures, cheap fossil fuels, and market forces in play over 
the past several decades. The result is a food system dominated by 
relatively few large actors, which creates conditions of rigidity and 
brittleness.
