Global Center for Food Systems Innovation at Wageningen University. We share research, learning and project opportunities with our global network, as well as relevant news.
The Global Center for Food Systems Innovation is a development lab led by Michigan State University and funded by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). It is part of USAID's the Higher Education Solutions Network (HESN). Wageningen University (Netherlands) is GCFSI's international partner together with Sokoine University (Tanzania), the Energy & Resource Institute (India) and Lincoln University (USA). Coordinators at the Management Studies Group, Wageningen University are Dr. Domenico Dentoni and Mr. Dimitrios Mitsopoulos.
The Global Center for Food Systems Innovation (GCFSI) Development Lab will contribute to sustainable food production and consumption over the next 10-15 years. The Development Lab will develop a sophisticated understanding of mega-trends affecting global food systems: population growth, rapid urbanization, climate change, pressures on land, and skills gaps in the food system workforce. This knowledge base will be used to inform USAID’s programs aimed at developing and scaling locally-appropriate solutions to global hunger and health. Check the website: http://gcfsi.isp.msu.edu/
