THE FEED COLLABORATIVE

The FEED Collaborative is a program in design thinking and food system innovation and impact.  Sponsored jointly by the d.school and the School of Earth Sciences, the FEED Collaborative at Stanford creates opportunities for external partners and thought-leaders, students, and faculty to collaborate in designing a more sustainable local food system.  The academic objective of the FEED Collaborative is to develop the creative capacity and confidence of students and to integrate this development with their acquisition of knowledge, subject matter expertise, and learning experiences outside the classroom.

OUR POINT OF VIEW

"Human centered design is a powerful process for uncovering the unmet needs of people and for unlocking the creative problem solving potential of its practitioners. Coupled with the domain knowledge of our collaborators and opportunities for social entrepreneurship, we believe human centered design is the most compelling opportunity we have for driving the level of innovation needed to transform our food system."
