Stanford University’s Solution Areas Program supports transdisciplinary research collaborations organized around food system sustainability. Food Integrative Projects build on collaborations across faculty and partners to produce evidence, knowledge, and solutions that meet the needs of decision-makers, community members, and other actors addressing sustainability challenges.
The program’s strategic focus is broad: projects may address any issue centered on food systems. Illustrative topics include climate-resilient food systems, the true cost of food, blue foods, food innovation ecosystems, and emissions reductions. These topics are not exclusive priorities; proposals addressing other timely and compelling food system issues receive full consideration.
