New grant to support farmer curriculum development to reduce food insecurity and improve infant and child nutrition

AVF2014-IMG_6439-852x852Together with Rachel Bezner Kerr (Development Sociology), Laurie Drinkwater (Horticulture), and David Wolfe (Horticulture), we have been awarded Venture Funds from the Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future. We will be developing a culturally appropriate curriculum around climate change, agroecology, child nutrition, and social equity to be used in rural Africa. The objective of the collaborative program is to improve food security and nutrition, increase soil health, and build healthy, resilient rural communities.
