 Pathway Description

Students in the pathway will explore how the production, consumption, and distribution of food resources are impacted by a variety of factors, including the availability of resources, income levels, and environmental degradation. The production of food in fragile environments and the sustainability of subsistence food systems will be explored, including the role of agricultural development in reducing hungerand poverty throughout the world.

The purpose of the fellowship is to promote a greater understanding of the complex connections and relationships among food, hunger, poverty, and the environment. The fellowships are aligned with the University’s commitment to “foster a culture supportive of undergraduate research.” Fellows receive a stipend and are expected to engage in their research project for a full year. The application process for fellows occurs during the spring quarter.
