Our Mission
The World Food Center mobilizes the resources of UC Davis to promote innovative, sustainable, and equitable food systems. We bring together partners in academia, industry, and the civic sector to:
- Develop integrated solutions to the grand challenges of providing food for all: climate change, resource scarcity, and sustainability;
- Propel California’s world-class food and agriculture technology hub; and
- Promote cutting-edge research, educational, and outreach programs in food systems.
A5
Agrifood 5 Alliance
Five top-ranked academic institutions of agricultural, food system and environmental sciences joined forces to form the Agrifood 5 (A5) Alliance in an effort to address one of the greatest challenges of our society: to sustainably feed the world’s expanding global population. It requires transformations of the world’s agricultural and food systems based on ideas and innovations that cut across geographical, cultural and disciplinary borders.
SDG2
Sustainable Development Goal 2
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.
