FOODLAB AT STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY’S LICHTENSTEIN CENTER

FoodLab’s mission is to establish Stony Brook University as a national center for the study of challenging food related issues the world faces, chiefly, how do we feed a growing world population facing climate change and diminishing natural resources.

Public health, nourishment, innovative food production, and environmental stewardship are all deeply interrelated; understanding these relationships is crucial to establishing a viable future. FoodLab will utilize the significant academic strengths, facilities and resources of the university to offer educational programming in the fields of food production, food culture, food business, food ecology, and agricultural technology.
