About the Food System Research Collaborative

The Food System Research Collaborative was launched by the Center for Rural Studies and many partner organizations during a meeting on February 6, 2009. The primary goal of the Collaborative is to join on-campus and off-campus organizations in efforts to further food system research and enhance linkages to the work on the ground in Vermont and beyond.  Membership in the Collaborative is defined simply by an organization’s or individual’s willingness to share research ideas, communicate research results, ask questions and work with other members on new initiatives and projects. The Collaborative is closely connected with the UVM Food Systems Spire.

The Collaborative’s website at foodsystemresearch.net is a hub for research sharing and outreach activities.  The website is hosted by the Center for Rural Studies at the University of Vermont.
