When you make a gift to the Swette Center for Sustainable Food Systems, you're empowering the work of our staff, students and 100+ affiliated faculty who are driving social progress, economic productivity and ecosystem resilience through food systems transformation.
Seven strategic priorities guide our work: (1) cultivating the next generation of leaders, (2) uplifting Arizona food systems, (3) advancing organic research and policy, (4) enabling true cost accounting of food, (5) engaging the private sector, (6) harnessing the power of deliciousness, and (7) empowering Indigenous foodways. These priorities come to life through cutting-edge research that informs food and farm policy, innovative educational programs and community engagement initiatives.
Because of supporters like you, we're leading the way in creating a sustainable future of food.
