This $246,000 project grant, awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Higher Education National Needs Graduate Fellowship Grants program (CFDA 10.210), supports the development of a pipeline of leaders in sustainable food systems at San Diego State University. Over a 5-year period from February 2025 to January 2030, the grant will fund the recruitment and training of Master's students in sustainable food science through a combination of classroom learning, hands-on research, industry internships, and interdisciplinary problem-solving. The program aims to prepare these students with the knowledge and skills needed to address critical challenges in agriculture, food production, and food security, contributing to environmental sustainability, economic growth, and public health in the food and agricultural sectors.
