Marketing initiative asks for new project ideas
 

The Leopold Center’s Marketing and Food Systems Initiative has issued a request for pre-proposals (RFP) for research and education projects. The RFP invites researchers and educators at educational or nonprofit organizations in Iowa to submit a brief concept paper describing their project by August 24.

The RFP lists directed research and education topics that will be priorities in selecting projects to fund. Areas of interest include documentation of the benefits of local and regional food production in Iowa, consumer understanding of ecolabels, and case studies in which farmers share equally in the rewards across a value chain.

For copies of the RFP, contact the Leopold Center or send an email to Rich Pirog, rspirog@iastate.edu.
