This five-year, $521,938 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of tools and a theoretical model to bolster food system resilience and reduce human impacts from disasters at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Funded through NSF's Engineering Directorate and its Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation Division, the award's objectives are to advance understanding of disruptions to social and built food environments from disasters. Key deliverables include a socio-ecological Food Environment in Disasters model, metrics, and a portfolio of Food System Environmental Audit tools to assess preparedness, impact, response and recovery. The tools are intended to promote improved food access, availability and acceptability after hazards and address acute food insecurity issues that often double or triple chronic problems post-disaster. Engagement activities will maximize research impact. This award advances NSF's mission through intellectual merit and broader societal impact.
