Vision for the Future
The Wisconsin Food System Partnership seeks a more food-secure world in 2020 -- a world with less poverty and a plentiful food supply that is varied, enjoyable, safe, and healthy.
- Food will be produced and distributed in profitable, equitable, and environmentally sound ways that:
- invigorate and regenerate the earth and its people;
- equitably address local, regional, and global needs;
- are consistent with community resources and objectives; and
- take advantage of the most useful information and technology.
By 2010 the university will work with citizens to create, integrate, transfer, and apply knowledge to contribute to a more food-secure world with less poverty.
- Citizens, faculty, staff, and students learn from each other and work together to continue to change the university so it can anticipate and influence change in the food system and other parts of society.
-
- Scientists plan and conduct research with more citizen participation and interdisciplinary contributions, linking science with larger food system issues.
-
- University research continues to expand our understanding of the world, to benefit the food system, and to enrich the educational process.
-
- Students learn from university and community resources and gain an appreciation of the social responsibility associated with the opportunity for education.
-
- Citizens, faculty, and staff join together to provide knowledge from a variety of perspectives, helping people make informed choices.
