This $108,852 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports collaborative research on how decisions made by multinational food companies influence the movement of people, animals, and resources into rural America. The research team at Rutgers, The State University will conduct a two-year study focused on roughly 54 food industry facilities across 20 counties in two U.S. states. Data collection will include participant observation, ethnographic interviews, analysis of secondary data, and critical examination of public documents. The research aims to understand the stated and tacit reasons behind multinational food companies locating facilities in rural areas, as well as the impacts on local land use, labor supply, and community dynamics. The findings are intended to provide practical and translatable insights for local constituencies affected by the contemporary protein industry and supply chain.
