About Us
Today’s society, and specifically global food systems, is faced with the challenge of feeding seven billion people – nine billion by 2050. The Cornell Institute for Food Systems (CIFS) comprises a multidisciplinary group of Faculty Fellows who tackle diverse issues in the food industry to meet this challenge. CIFS Faculty Fellows engage with the Institute and its industry partners in a variety of mechanisms including collaborative research, scientific advisory roles, and the development of student talent pipelines.
