Summary
After a decades-long economic slump, the city of Flint, Michigan, struggled to address chronic issues of toxic water supply, malnutrition, and food security gaps among its residents. A community-engaged research project proposed a resilience assessment that would use panarchy theory to move the city toward a more sustainable food system. Flint is one of many examples that demonstrate how panarchy theory is being applied to understand and influence change in complex human-natural systems.

Critics Review
“The nexus of thought and application that breaks down the disciplinary boundaries is clear to see in the examples provided in this book. I have no doubt that the broad academic movements investigating resilience in the Anthropocene will gain much from Applied Panarchy.” – “Biologist”
