FFAR’s work aims to provide everyone access to nutritious food. Too many suffer from food insecurity nationwide. This research has the potential to deliver significant, real-world results that will positively impact the lives of those struggling to put dinner on the table.Sally Rockey, Ph.D.

FFAR’s Seeding Solutions Grant program is an open call for bold ideas that address pressing food and agriculture issues and further research in one of FFAR’s Challenge Areas. Feeding America’s research furthers FFAR’s 2018 Making My Plate Your Plate Challenge Area, now the Health-Agriculture Nexus Challenge area, which supports reducing food and nutritional insecurity in a broad socioeconomic and environmental context.

Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research
The Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR) builds public-private partnerships to fund bold research addressing big food and agriculture challenges. FFAR was established in the 2014 Farm Bill to increase public agriculture research investments, fill knowledge gaps and complement the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s research agenda. FFAR’s model matches federal funding from Congress with private funding, delivering a powerful return on taxpayer investment. Through collaboration and partnerships, FFAR advances actionable science benefiting farmers, consumers and the environment.
