** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** THIS IS A COLLABORATIVE INTERDISCIPLINARY EDUCATION PROJECT, PRIMARILY ADDRESSING EDUCATION NEED AREA 1 TO INCREASE CAPACITIES IN FOOD SAFETY (CODE M). THIS PROJECT INVOLVES CO-DEVELOPING AND OFFERING AN UNDERGRADUATE-LEVEL COURSE TITLED FOOD SAFETY: ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS. THE U.S. FOOD INDUSTRY AND GOVERNMENT REGULATORY AGENCIES OFTEN HAVE CHALLENGES FILLING KEY POSITIONS RELATED TO FOOD SAFETY AND QUALITY CONTROL. MULTIPLE CASES OF FOOD SAFETY OUTBREAKS POINT TO THE NEED FOR MANAGERS TO BE WELL-INFORMED OF FOOD SAFETY PROTOCOLS, TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE AND DESIRED OUTCOMES. YET, FOOD SAFETY EDUCATION, IN AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS AND AGRIBUSINESS PROGRAMS, WHICH SUPPLY THE LABOR FORCE FOR LEADERSHIP POSITIONS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY, IS LACKING. WE SEEK TO FILL THIS GAP IN THE HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM, PARTICULARLY IN THE ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS OF FOOD SUPPLY CHAINS. THIS IS THE FIRST PROGRAM IN THE NATION TO FILL THE GAP.WE AIM TO DO THIS BY: (I) DEVELOPING THE NEW COURSE TO BE TAUGHT AT CSU CHICO AND MSU, BY UTILIZING NEW MATERIALS AND LEARNER-CENTERED EDUCATION TECHNIQUES, AND (II) CONDUCTING RESEARCH FOR AT LEAST FOUR IN-DEPTH TEACHING CASE STUDIES RELATED TO A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT FOOD SAFETY ISSUES, FROM AN ECONOMICS/BUSINESS LENS, TO BE PUBLISHED AND MADE AVAILABLE TO EDUCATORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.THE TARGET OBJECTIVES INCREASE LEADERSHIP CAPACITIES AMONG FUTURE AGRIBUSINESS MANAGERS AND LEADERS BY INCREASING THE TALENT POOL FOR BOTH INDUSTRY AND REGULATORY AGENCIES. WE EXPECT TO REACH 120 STUDENTS PER YEAR. THE COURSE MATERIALS WILL BE SHARED WITH OTHER INSTITUTIONS INTERESTED IN PROVIDING THIS CURRICULUM TO THEIR STUDENTS.
