UVM's Food Systems Research Center (FSRC) is the first USDA-funded research center to study the interconnectedness of all parts of a regional food system, from farm practices to food access.
About
To make progress on issues like climate change, the economic crisis on farms, and food insecurity, it's time for us to approach things differently. One-size-fits-all solutions based on narrowly focused research won’t take us far—only an integrated, in-depth analysis can lead to meaningful change.
Through one-of-a-kind grants, we offer the opportunity to work alongside USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) researchers on campus at our research station at UVM to study regional food systems holistically. This closeness increases possibilities for collaboration, breakthrough discoveries, sustainable funding partnerships, and wide-reaching positive change in our region and beyond.
