    CIA Food Studies and Sustainability Programs

  • Lead the Food World into the Future

    You can make a difference in the world through your love for food. As the food world evolves, we need people who understand how sustainability, planetary health, policy, ethics, and diversity are directly connected to our food systems. The world—and the food industry—is looking for the next generation of leaders to bring reform, influence mindsets, and lead us into a sustainable future. No other college gives you the culinary lens offered by the CIA—a unique and invaluable perspective to have while working with those who grow, distribute, prepare, serve, and impact the broader community through food. Turn your passion into action with the CIA.
