Projekt Mezi trhem a alternativami: potravinová odolnost domácností v nejisté době je tříletý výzkumný projekt (2024-2026), zabývající se zapojením domácností do formálních i neformálních potravinových systémů, což zahrnuje nakupování, samozásobitelství, sběr, výměnu, dary a další způsoby získávání potravin.
