Popis: We introduce everyday creativity as an approach to understanding the role of agency in resilience thinking and as a conceptual lens through which to view the ways that people respond to globalized change. Our focus is on the use of biodiversity in crafting responses within food systems of rural and remote communities. We propose a conceptual framework to understand the flow of biological materials across five phases of a food system and how benefits map to actors. This allows us to locate disruptions that arise from globalized change and the factors that enable and constrain responses. We then present an application of the conceptual framework using a case study from the Atlantic Forest Coast of Brazil, that demonstrates that in a world characterized by globalized change our understanding of resilient food systems requires more analysis of the factors that limit everyday creativity at different phases of the food system.
