Helping the people of Michigan, the United States, and the world develop regionally integrated and sustainable food systems.
About CRFS
The newly-established MSU Center for Regional Food Systems brings together the applied research, education, and outreach expertise of faculty and staff at MSU to advance understanding of and engagement with regional food systems throughout Michigan, the United States, and the world. The Center’s efforts leverage the earlier work and partnerships of MSU’s former C.S. Mott Group for Sustainable Food Systems and the MSU Student Organic Farm.
Affiliated MSU faculty and staff in agriculture, health and nutrition, economics, sociology, and other disciplines contribute their expertise to the Center’s research, education, and outreach on food systems issues from agricultural production and marketing techniques to healthy corner store initiatives in low-income areas. To date, the MSU Center for Regional Food Systems has engaged over 50 MSU faculty and staff from a dozen academic departments and five colleges, along with MSU AgBioResearch scientists and MSU Extension specialists, as affiliates of the Center.
