  2. A Common Global Goal - A Sustainable Food Supply (Food Security) Is MSU Aligned ? Institutional Capacity Global Food Security The traditional Land Grant model of highly siloed colleges and departments must change

  3. Disciplinarity • Within one academic discipline • Disciplinary goal setting • No cooperation with other disciplines • Development of new disciplinary knowledge and theory Tress G., Tress B., and Fry G., 2004. Clarifying integrative research concepts in landscape ecology Discipline Academic knowledge body Goal of a research project Movement towards goal

  4. Multidisciplinarity • Multiple disciplines • Multidisciplinary goal setting under on thematic umbrella • Loose cooperation of disciplines for exchange of knowledge • Disciplinary theory development Tress G., Tress B., and Fry G., 2004. Clarifying integrative research concepts in landscape ecology Discipline Academic knowledge body Goal of a research project Movement towards goal Thematic umbrella Cooperation

  5. Interdisciplinarity • Crosses disciplinary boundaries • Common goal setting • Integration of disciplines • Development of integrated knowledge and theory Tress G., Tress B., and Fry G., 2004. Clarifying integrative research concepts in landscape ecology Discipline Academic knowledge body Goal of a research project Movement towards goal Integration

  6. Transdisciplinarity • Crosses disciplinary and scientific/academic boundaries • Common goal-setting • Integration of disciplines and non-academic participants • Development of integrated knowledge and theory among science and society Non-academic knowledge body Discipline Academic knowledge body Goal of a research project Movement towards goal Non-academic participants Integration Tress G., Tress B., and Fry G., 2004. Clarifying integrative research concepts in landscape ecology

  7. Holistic View of Sustainability

  8. Michigan State University: Response, Specific Examples • Restructuring around major themes, e.g., food security, sustainable environment & development and health & nutrition • Boundary spanning units have been added to effectuate and facilitate change; the Office of International Research Collaboration (OIRC) • Increase in flexible funds and fixed-term faculty base

  9. Michigan State University: Specific Projects • FSKN – transdisciplinary in focus; addressing trade capacity development in developing countries while partnering with government agencies (e.g., USAID, WTO, Government of India Ministries and State Departments) and corporations (e.g., Coca Cola in China and Metro Cash & Carry in India) Photo courtesy of Coca-Cola. • Use of IT platforms and Open Education Resource (OER) models to provide greater reach/impact at lower costs, e.g., Food Safety Knowledge Network (FSKN) and AgShare (Gates funded) in Africa Photo courtesy of MSU Global.

  10. Michigan State University: Specific Projects • MSU and NEPAD received a $10.4 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to assist in the training of African regulators on biotechnology; helping small farmers, improve agricultural practices and grow healthier, more sustainable food Photo courtesy of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

  11. Michigan State University: CANR Response, Roadmap for Alignment & Engagement • Technical Expertise • Geographical Expertise Infrastructure Capacity Food Security Challenge • Market Intelligence • Strategic Vision Relationships Opportunity
