Engaged Curriculum Grants

Equitable eEngagement

Developing a strategy for high-quality online university-community engagement

Substituting plant-based foods for meat and dairy is critical to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, misperceptions about the taste, cost and health aspects of a plant-based diet pose barriers to community educators hoping to influence people’s eating habits.

In this grant project, undergraduates in Environment & Sustainability and Information Science majors will work with community partners to promote plant-rich diet as a means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Working with community partners in New York state and Barcelona, Spain, students will conduct consumer surveys, taste test plant-rich recipes and produce videos, websites, apps and other media to make recipes and plant-rich diet educational materials accessible to audiences.

Grant type: Planning (2018-19), Development (2020-21)

Topics: Access, Equity and Justice; Education
