This publication reports findings from the Cultivating Rural Vitality in Virginia's Food Systems (CRRV) project, a statewide initiative led by the Virginia Tech Center for Food Systems and Community Transformation in partnership with the Mid-Atlantic Food Resilience and Access Coalition (MAFRAC), Virginia State University, and Virginia Cooperative Extension. Conducted from fall 2025 through early winter 2026 with support from a USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture seed grant, the project engaged stakeholders across Virginia's food systems — including farmers, food businesses, nonprofits, local and state government, Extension, researchers, and funders — to identify opportunities to strengthen food systems resilience against natural disasters, public health emergencies, economic disruptions, and policy changes.
