Community Advisory Board

Advisory Board Members

The GRIP project advisory board consists of an outstanding group of people who represent a diverse range of stakeholders: nonprofit organizations, urban and peri-urban growers, community leaders, industry partners, local government staff, food systems faculty and other food systems leaders.

During each year of the project, there will be two meetings of the advisory board in person or by videoconference. Board members will be asked to provide ongoing feedback on research results and advice on future research directions.
