Food Systems Initiative

Welcome to UVM's Food Systems Initiative

Some of our prominent public health issues revolve around diet, but it is not just our bodies that suffer from the limitations of mass food production. It is time to come together — community, students, experts — to make a positive impact on our food production. Here at UVM, we have developed the Food Systems Initiative — a new trans-disciplinary initiative which seeks to strengthen the viability of regional food systems for globally scaled issues through research, education, and outreach. For more resources, explore our site or contact us.
