Food SURF 2023: Hannah Blackwell

The Food Systems Research Center (FSRC) funds outstanding undergraduate students as part the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program, supported by UVM’s Fellowships, Opportunities, & Undergraduate Research (FOUR) office. These talented undergraduate students gain hands-on experience working closely with UVM researchers. Their research encompasses the diversity of food systems research, spanning from pest control to food safety, and from the intricacies of diet culture to the significance of cover crops.
The FSRC is the first USDA-funded research station to study the interconnectedness of all parts of a regional food system, from farm practices to food access.
Through one-of-a-kind USDA grants, we offer the opportunity to work alongside USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) researchers on campus at our research station at UVM to study regional food systems holistically. This closeness increases possibilities for collaboration, breakthrough discoveries, sustainable funding partnerships, and wide-reaching positive change in our region and beyond.
