2024 Global Food Systems Proposal Call

The Global Food Systems, or GFS, initiative at K-State builds on our strengths and aligns with our land-grant mission to address the challenge of sustainably feeding a world population that is expected to grow by 20% by 2050. Given the importance of the food system to the Kansas economy, the state of Kansas has provided K-State with funding for GFS-related research, workforce development, and innovation activities.

Supporting K-State’s Economic Prosperity Plan, or EPP, the Seed Grant Program is expected to result in innovation and knowledge that will foster job creation, spur economic development, and fortify Kansas’ leadership role in the food system.

If you have any questions about the GFS Seed Grant Program, please reach out to gbecker@k-state.edu or gfsseedgrant@k-state.edu.
