Apply to join Sustainable Food Systems SI panel

The Sustainable Food Systems Strategic Initiative (SFS) panel has openings for two new members.

The SFS Initiative is one of five UC ANR Strategic Initiatives that help unify, communicate and advocate for the work we do across UC ANR. The Sustainable Food Systems SI encompasses our work in sustainable production, intensive ag systems, safe food processing, and enhanced food access. 

SFS Initiative panel tasks include contributing to UC ANR's strategic plan, identifying themes and priorities for the future, identifying research and extension gaps, providing input on staffing, and highlighting important work iacross UC ANR related to sustainable food systems. Panel members identify time-sensitive opportunities based on strategic priorities, convene meetings, engage stakeholders and foster dialogue. 

Appointments to the panel are for two- or three-year terms. The two individuals appointed will start their term in June 2024.

Anyone within ANR (academics or staff) or with an Agricultural Experiment Station appointment is eligible to apply.  

Applications are due by May 1, 2024. Please apply at https://surveys.ucanr.edu/survey.cfm?surveynumber=39314.
