Welcome

The C.S. Mott Group for Sustainable Food Systems at MSU began in January 2003 as a vehicle to promote community engagement and scholarly activity focused on community-based food systems. Whether you are working to bring fresh food to limited resource families or maintain your family farm; considering a move to pasture-based farming or investigating a way to enter farming; starting a farmers' market or looking to add local food to your school lunch program; interested in sustainable agriculture or puzzling about ways food is part of community, we hope this site is of benefit to you.
