José Andrés and GW Create Revolutionary Global Food Institute
| |
GW launched the George Washington University Global Food Institute with world-renowned chef, humanitarian, and author José Andrés. In founding the Institute, Andrés said “We can—more important, we must—put food at the heart of creating a better world.”
The Global Food Institute is driven by Andrés' vision to work to transform people’s lives and the health of the planet. It takes an interdisciplinary systems approach across three main pillars: policy, innovation and humanity. GW leaders note that "the institute will enable faculty and students from every school and college, industry leaders, policymakers and renowned experts to work and teach across these pillars, producing cutting-edge research to create and improve domestic and global food policies, incubate and engineer innovative new technologies and entrepreneurial spirit and lead critical conversations about the impact of food on the human race."
