Welcome to GFSI
At the Global Food Systems Institute, we unlock the full potential of faculty, staff, students, and Extension professionals—empowering them to design, organize, and lead transformative international initiatives that strengthen food and fiber systems where they are needed most. From forging multidisciplinary teams and securing competitive grants to offering hands-on fellowships, travel awards, and graduate/post-doctoral support, we fuel participatory, science-driven solutions that improve nutrition, health, and livelihoods across the Global South and beyond. Our vibrant global partnerships not only amplify impact abroad, but also enrich local agriculture, enabling mutual learning on complex challenges like natural disaster resilience, pest management, and market diversification.
As a dynamic nexus of teaching, research, and extension, GFSI cultivates trusted collaborations, hosts visionary gatherings like the Future of Food Forum, and champions excellence in international programs—driving innovation at the frontier of knowledge and practice for resilient, strong, and sustainable food systems worldwide.
