W.K. KELLOGG FOUNDATION
FSPE—FOOD SYSTEMS PROFESSIONS EDUCATION INITIATIVE
The W. K. Kellogg Foundation has been committed to agriculture, nutrition, and efficient food systems since 1930. With the Food Systems Professions Education (FSPE) initiative, which has now completed Phase I and is into Phase II, the Foundation offers universities the opportunity to determine their desired future for food systems education. Kellogg Foundation grants are catalyzing long-term planning, innovative thinking, and new collaborations between higher education, communities, and business partners. In short, FSPE seeks to nurture a new harvest of ideas, networks, and practices, designed to sustain and improve our food systems during the coming century.
The FSPE initiative seeks to catalyze significant, positive changes in university-based education programs throughout the United States to better prepare food systems professionals to be responsive to the dynamic and complex food systems issues of the 21st century. It builds on the tremendous contribution of the land-grant systems of higher education to food production and utilization and assumes the natural evolution of institutions to serve the needs of a diverse constituency in the next century.Phase II
The FSPE initiative is now in Phase II. A national leadership development dialogue has been established by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation among twelve state and land-grant university consortiums throughout the United States. This Leadership for Institutional Change (LINC) Initiative seeks to provide guidance and support for new leadership models in higher education. Each of these twelve consortiums are also involved in the W.K. Kellogg Food Systems Professions Education (FSPE) Initiative.
