All of humanity depends upon safe, sufficient, affordable, accessible, and nutritious food – but environmental, political, economic and cultural challenges pose threats to our food supply. Ohio State's transdisciplinary focus on food security is addressing these interdependent and complex problems – locally and globally.Initiative for Food & AgriCultural Transformation (InFACT) is supporting research-based transition pathways to new diversified agricultural landscapes that improve the economic, social and environmental well-being of both people and the land. InFACT faculty affiliates and our many partners work together using a transdisciplinary approach to discover how to transform agricultural and food landscapes, with new models that offer measurable improvements in food and nutritional security.
