The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $418,193 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Missouri System to develop a circular "FEAST" (Food Ecosystems and Circularity for Sustainable Transformation) framework. The project aims to address hidden hunger (micronutrient deficiencies) in the Osage Nation through sustainable food processing and reviving traditional Osage foods like elderberry. Key objectives include: Understanding interactions between soil, water, plants, food, and people to inform interventions for micronutrient deficiencies. Leveraging sustainable food process engineering to enhance nutrition, accessibility, and availability of a traditional Osage food. Co-creating the FEAST framework to integrate circular food systems and Sustainable Development Goals for building resilient food and nutrition security systems, which can be scaled to other tribal nations. The project also includes educational goals to increase awareness on hidden hunger, sustainable food processing, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The 5-year grant term runs from June 2024 to May 2029. No subawards are planned for this project.
