Executive summary: The Food System Research Fund is seeking research proposals to accelerate the transition away from animal-based food systems, with funding available for projects across seven key areas.
Key points:
Applications are due by September 1, 2024 for seven research focus areas: displacement, policy, cost of goods, economics, PLMICs, new techniques, and advocacy effectiveness.
Priority research topics include measuring impact of plant-based alternatives, analyzing meat pricing policies, quantifying animal product costs, studying economics of protein markets, reducing consumption in developing countries, and evaluating advocacy approaches.
Successful proposals should use rigorous methods like causal inference, consumer panel data, and non-self-reported measures where possible.
The fund aims to facilitate research that can inform efforts to reduce animal product consumption and improve farmed animal welfare globally.
Proposals outside the specific RFPs that align with the overall mission will also be considered.
