Brown University was awarded $1,084,489 under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI, CFDA 10.310) administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture on May 15, 2026. The three-year project, concluding May 14, 2029, will establish a longitudinal cohort study examining home and wild food procurement (HWFP) activities—including gardening, fishing, and foraging—among rural, low-income, and food-insecure households in the two most rural U.S. states.
