Global Food Systems Seed Grant Program
|
|
Kansas State University has a university-wide initiative in Global Food Systems, or GFS, that builds on our strengths and land-grant mission to help address the challenge of sustainably feeding a world population that will double global food demand by 2050. Given the importance of food production to the Kansas economy, the innovation and knowledge resulting from this initiative are expected to assist with job creation and economic development within the state and to help Kansas remain a leader in food production. To this end, the State of Kansas has provided K-State with funding for GFS-related research, workforce development, and economic development and innovation activities. The GFS Seed Grant Program addressed by this Request for Proposals is supported by this state funding.
The GFS Seed Grant Program invites applications for innovative research in all aspects of global food systems including, but not limited to:
- Increasing food production (crops or livestock, e.g. crop yield improvement, pest management, or animal health).
- Better management of water and other resources/systems related to food production and distribution, better management of the food produced.
- Keeping food systems safe (including both food safety and bio/agro security).
- Increasing food nutritional value.
- Combating obesity and nutritional illiteracy Innovative educational and outreach (e.g., use of the arts as an engagement medium).

Topic: Updates from D.C. around funding and international researchers.
Across the nation, faculty are grappling with how to maintain research productivity during a time of a public health crisis. Federal funding agencies and private sector supporters are trying to understand how to make progress as well. We have been providing updates from funders as they come in, but this is still a complex environment to understand. Our Brown Bag virtual lunch series will focus on responding to changes and guidance about how to secure funding into the future.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

In this episode, we switch gears to shine some light on an area of the food system that may not be overtly understood as critical by many. Matthew Sanderson, Randall C. Hill Distinguished Professor of sociology, anthropology, and social work and professor of sociology joins hosts in discussion. Sanderson's research aims to better understand the social aspects of human nature as major drivers in approaches to relations between people and the ecosphere. His research includes a focus on social processes that integrate economies, politics and cultures into an increasingly shared — but sometimes contested — space.
