Expanding Farm to School efforts
Looks for ways to get Florida-grown food into public school meals, working with farmers, school programs and researchers on how the food supply chain can link them.
Printer to Palate
The lab surveys students at a large multicultural university to learn how aware they are of 3D‑printed foods and what factors influence their willingness to try them. The student designed the questionnaire, collected responses, and will analyze how psychological and socioeconomic factors affect acceptance.
