This World Food Day, we highlight the importance of how we grow, produce, distribute, and consume food. These are the very areas at the heart of FAFS programs in agriculture, nutrition and dietetics, food science and management, and agribusiness, where students gain the knowledge and practical experience to help address today’s food challenges.
