Climate change, food insecurity, and environmental concerns are complex agricultural and food systems challenges impacting farmers and communities globally and here in North Carolina. These sustainability challenges require multidisciplinary and new approaches across our whole food system from the farm gate to plate.
Dr. Michelle Schroeder-Moreno, CEFS Director based at North Carolina State University and W.K. Kellogg Endowed Distinguished Chair in Sustainable Community-Based Food Systems, explored this topic as the May 28, 2025 speaker for a Lunchtime Discovery Series hosted by the N.C. DEQ Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs and the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences.
Watch the presentation to learn about the agroecology and sustainable food and agricultural systems research, education, and extension programs through CEFS, opportunities to engage with CEFS, and career path opportunities in agroecology.
