Stanford Food Summit

The first Stanford Food Summit was first held in the Fall of 2010 and demonstrated the breadth and depth of interest in food issues across the 7 schools of the University (Medicine, Earth Sciences, Business, Humanities & Sciences, Law, Education, and Engineering). The target audience was primarily academics. This successful collaboration continued to grow and ran through 2015. Summit agendas, speakers and videos are available.
