UC Davis receives $1.57 million grant from Kellogg

A $1.57 million grant from the Kellogg Foundation will create an endowment for the UC Davis Agricultural Sustainability Institute to support a network of scholars at 14 universities working to improve children's access to healthy food, said a brief article in the Modesto Bee.

The article was based on press release distributed yesterday by UC Davis.

“This gift recognizes the work of leaders from across the United States, and I am gratified that my colleagues in the network have endorsed the UC Davis Agricultural Sustainability Institute as the network’s host,” said ASI director Tom Tomich. “We also are grateful to the Kellogg Foundation for supporting such important work."

Tomich is also the W.K. Kellogg Endowed Chair in Sustainable Food Systems at UC Davis.

In addition to UC Davis, the network currently includes scholars from:

Iowa State University and its Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture
Michigan State University
North Carolina A&T State University
North Carolina State University
Ohio State University
UC Santa Cruz
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
University of Minnesota
University of New Hampshire
