The FOOD SYSTEMS INSTITUTE at CSU

Driving systemic change by bridging food systems research, engagement, and education

The CSU Food Systems Institute (FSI) is a catalyst for change, breaking down traditional barriers to drive holistic and systemic outcomes by bridging food systems research, engagement, and education. FSI is a place where everyone with a stake in the future of food systems can join us in creating solutions based in science and practice.

We work to achieve this ambitious goal in three important ways:

01

Tap into the power of CSU’s student body to bring innovative approaches to transdisciplinary research. Creating cutting-edge scholarship, as well as new and novel sources of data, we build new generations of food systems leaders and thinkers.

02

Engage communities to identify ongoing challenges and stubborn problems. Leveraging the resources of campus and Extension, we work to ensure that solutions have immediate application and impact.

03

Bring diverse voices to the table. By breaking down barriers between disciplines, partners, communities, and food system sectors, we create holistic interventions and system-level outcomes.
