Abstract
InFACT's vision is to use OSU's campuses and lands as living laboratories to create new conceptual, physical and social models of food systems that promote human health while balancing technology, ecological capacities, economics, justice and equity. This requires collaboration and balance across the sciences, engineering, and humanities, and with many partners including students, Ohioans, business and industry, and policy makers seeking holistic approaches to improved agroecosystem and human health.
Description
IMPACT. 1: We're engaged in scholarship, education and service that will help reduce the percentage of Ohio households experiencing low food security. -- 2. We're connecting agroecosystem health with the health of human inhabitants, through food. -- 3. We're changing the culture of The Ohio State University, bringing the entire university to bear on one of the great challenges of our time.
