Description
This initiative from Stanford University’s Doerr School of Sustainability aims to catalyze integrative, transdisciplinary research projects that address critical challenges in food system sustainability. The program encourages collaborative proposals that generate evidence, knowledge, and practical solutions for decision-makers, communities, and stakeholders. Areas of interest include—though are not limited to—climate-resilient food systems, the true cost of food, blue foods, food innovation ecosystems, and strategies for emissions reductions. Proposals addressing other timely and compelling food systems issues are also welcome.
