INTRODUCTION
       Food is the indispensable cornerstone of human well-being. Food provides energy,
water and nutrients to sustain life, promote health and build functional societies. The global
food system is a complex network of international trade, markets, public and private
institutions, farmers, fishers, technology, genetic resources, cultures, values, environmental
and biophysical interactions.
       The Institute for Sustainable Food Systems (ISFS) was created in October 2015 within
the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS) to develop
 Vision: To be a leading institution in              innovative solutions for improving the global

 conceptualizing and executing cross-                food system and human well-being. ISFS has
                                                     assembled some of the best experts across
 disciplinary solutions for a healthy and
                                                     disciplines to pioneer research on real-world
 productive world
                                                     issues facing the global food system and ISFS
is providing leadership within UF/IFAS to improve the quality of life in Florida and throughout
the world.

       ISFS works to advance sustainable food systems that:
             •   Efficiently produce, process, and distribute safe and nutritious food;
             •   Are profitable and produce jobs;
             •   Conserve natural resources and the environment; and
             •   Are resilient to economic and environmental changes

       ISFS has seven core faculty representing six UF departments. Additionally, there are
two ISFS fellows and 31 affiliate faculty from 12 UF departments and 5 outside institutions.

   The ISFS Mission is to:
       1. Conduct transdisciplinary research on real-world issues that is timely,
             relevant and pushes beyond the frontier of current knowledge;
       2. Develop new curricula and training for the next generation of
             professionals; and
       3. Communicate research to consumers, producers, distributors, traders
             and other public and private decision makers.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Chronology of the Institute for Sustainable Food Systems
   •   The Institute for Sustainable Food Systems was created in October 2015 within the
       Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences at the University of Florida. At its
       conception, ISFS was comprised of three faculty members: James Anderson
       (Director), Karen Garrett and Arie Havelaar.
   •   In January 2016, core faculty Gerritt Hoogenboom and Frank Asche were hired.
   •   In February 2016, the ISFS redesigned space in Frazier Rogers Hall was completed
       and the ISFS website, http://isfs.institute.ifas.ufl.edu, was launched.
   •   In July 2016, ISFS Research Coordinator Grace Crummer was hired.
   •   In September 2016, core faculty Cheryl Palm and Pedro Sanchez were hired.
   •   In the end of 2016, ISFS established the Aquatic Foods Advisory Board and held its
       first Aquatic Foods Advisory meeting.
   •   On December 8th, 2016, ISFS held its inaugural open house. The open house attracted
       over 80 professionals from the UF community including President Fuchs.
   •   In May 2017, the Academic Advisory Board was established to evaluate ISFS and
       discuss programmatic priorities.
   •   In August 2017, Senthold Asseng and Greg Kiker were selected as ISFS Fellows.
   •   In May 2018, the Agriculture Systems, Health and Nutrition Advisory Board was
       established.
   •   In October 2018, Cathy Bester replaced Grace Crummer as ISFS Coordinator.
   •   In January 2020, ISFS hosted the Future of Food Forum.

Programmatic Highlights
   •   From 2016 to 2019, ISFS core faculty and their coauthors published over 280 articles,
       chapters and reports, and made over 295 presentations at conferences, workshops
       and meetings. Several papers have been published in high impact journals such
       Science, Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) and Nature.

   •   Since 2016, ISFS has worked with colleagues to attract funding for 60 projects
       constituting approximately $22.8 million ($15 million directly for UF) Note: excludes
       USAID funding for the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Livestock Systems.

    and Turkey.

•   ISFS faculty have led and organized more than 40 workshops and taught 17 course
    offerings, five of which are newly designed courses with a focus of systems.

•   ISFS faculty achieved notable recognition by UF and leading organizations. A few
    select examples are provided. Karen Garrett was awarded the International
    Achievement Award by UF IFAS Global in 2018. She was also elected a 2019 Fellow
    of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. ISFS Fellow Senthold
    Asseng also received the distinguished honor of being elected a Fellow of AAAS.

PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES
       Featured Project: Performance Indicators for Fisheries and
                       Aquaculture Management Systems
ISFS core faculty James Anderson, Frank Asche and Taryn Garlock have led the
development and application of performance indicators for fisheries and aquaculture systems.
The framework is based on the triple bottom line, incorporating information across ecosystem
health, economic and social sustainability. The ISFS group has received $325,000 in external
grants from the Environmental Defense Fund and the Packard Foundation and has
collaborated with more than 50 professionals in academia and industry around the globe in
the design and application of performance indicators for fisheries and aquaculture. The
Fisheries Performance Indicators (FPI) tool is also being used to evaluate several projects
undertaken by The World Bank. The ISFS team is currently working with Håkan Eggert,
Assoc. Professor, Univ. of Gothenburg, to collect data on 25 fisheries and 10 aquaculture
systems across 12 different countries. The database of commercial fisheries has grown since
2015 from about 50 fisheries to currently more than 150 fisheries, and ten aquaculture
systems have been assessed. ISFS faculty have co-authored three papers on the
performance indicators Chu et. al. 2017 in Marine Policy, Asche, Anderson, Garlock et al.
2018 in PNAS, and McCluney, Anderson & Anderson et al. 2019 in Nature Comm. Asche et
al. 2018 was a multidisciplinary effort led by the ISFS group that brought experts together
from four departments at UF and seven leading institutions around the world. The publication
received UF/IFAS High Impact Recognition in 2018. The group is leading three publications
anticipated for publication in 2020. Anderson and Asche have organized special sessions on
the performance indicators at international conferences since 2017.

   Featured Project: Reducing Resource Use at the Seafood-
       Energy-Water Nexus: Efficient Production and Waste
                                         Reduction
ISFS core faculty James Anderson and Frank Asche, and Postdoc Ly Nguyen are working in
collaboration with Mark Brown (UF Dept. Env. Eng.), Johns Hopkins and Arizona State
University to measure energy and water use along the production chain in the US seafood
supply. The INFEWS (Innovations at the Nexus of Food, Energy and Water Systems) project
funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through USDA/NIFA is collecting
quantitative and interview data about resource use from stakeholders across the supply
chains of eight seafood products commonly consumed in the US: Norwegian Atlantic salmon
fillets, Channel and hybrid catfish fillets (Mississippi and Alabama), Vietnamese Pangasius
fillets, farmed shrimp from Thailand and Vietnam, Alaskan pollock fillets and surimi, canned
Alaskan Pink salmon, Alaskan Sockeye salmon fillets, and canned Pacific tuna. The
transdisciplinary team is integrating their findings to recommend strategies for reducing
resource use across seafood supply chains.

     Featured Initiative: Environmentally Positive Agricultural
                                      Intensification
ISFS core faculty Pedro Sanchez and Cheryl Palm are collaborating with Frederick Royce,
(UF Agricultural and Biological Engineering), and Bill Messina (UF Food and Resource
Economics), to establish a seed system in Cuba and to determine the agricultural and
environmental consequences of drastically increasing crop yields in areas designated as
polígonos – watersheds with cooperatives. Cuba imports about 70% of its food even though
about 1 million of its 6 million hectares of agricultural land is inactive and much of the inactive
land has excellent soils and surrounding infrastructure. A second paradox of Cuban
agriculture is their priority towards cultivating during the dry season involving irrigation and
low priority to the rainy season. The group is in the process of developing a Memorandum of
Understanding, but actions have been hindered by increasing federal restrictions.

              Featured Project: Impact Network Analysis
ISFS core faculty Karen Garrett is developing a new platform, Impact Network Analysis (INA),
to evaluate the effects of new information and other technologies on linked socioeconomic
and biophysical networks. Since 2016, she has published more than ten papers on systems
analysis of crop epidemics and seed systems, including a paper in Phytopathology with Frank
Asche and a paper in Science on a global surveillance system for crop diseases. Her work
has contributed to climate change adaptation strategies and diversification of food production
strategies and for this she received the UF/IFAS Global International Achievement Award.

            Featured Project: CAGED: Making Food Safer
ISFS core faculty Arie Havelaar is leading an interdisciplinary project to identify bacterial
causes of enteric dysfunction and chronic gut inflammation in Ethiopian children. By studying
complex interactions between livestock and people, the project supported by the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation aims to identify reservoirs and exposure pathways by which
Campylobacter bacteria colonize children in low- and middle-income countries. While the two
most common Camylobacter species, C. jejuni and C. coli, are well known to science,
Havelaar and the CAGED project are detecting a host of other species. In Africa, the majority
of children carrying Camylobacter are not becoming ill, but rather the bacteria are weakening
the body’s ability to efficiently absorb nutrients, and this contributes to stunting, or impaired
growth, in children. Havelaar is working in close collaboration with Haramaya University to
determine which domestic animals may be the most common reservoir for exposing children
to Campylobacter. The ultimate goal of the project is to design interventions that improve the
children’s overall health and wellbeing.

 Featured Project: Properties and Management of Soils in the
                                                       Tropics
ISFS core faculty and World Food Prize recipient Pedro Sanchez published the second
edition of his book Properties and Management of Soils in the Tropics in 2019. This long-
awaited second edition, published by Cambridge University Press, expands on the first
edition (published in 1976) to include advances in the last four decades. The book employs a
multidisciplinary approach to address the ecosystem services that soils provide, not only in
terms of food and nutritional security but also in the regulation of climate, water, and nutrients
and the preservation of biodiversity. The expanded view is critical for understanding and
improving farming in the tropics today, where geopolitical and economic factors impact a
farmer’s ability to use land to its potential. The book has received remarkable reviews
including by Garrison Sposito, Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and Ken
Giller, Professor at Wageningen University.
 “This is a fascinating book which surpasses the classic first edition by being so much more than a book about soils. All
 the necessary expert knowledge is there, but it is embedded in an insightful analysis of the wider environmental and
 social context. Few people are more convincing than Professor Sanchez about the importance of this truly critical
 resource - so often taken for granted - our soil.”

Featured Project: Agricultural Extensification-Intensification in
                                    Semi-Arid Kenya
Cheryl Palm is leading a research and education program that explores the combined
challenges of food security and conservation in Central Kenya County and its river systems
under increasing climatic and demographic pressures. It is a microcosm of the situation
throughout the savannahs of East and Southern Africa. To meet the intertwined challenges of
food security and conservation, she and her team have initiated a joint research-education-
extension program based at Mpala Research Centre to provide the basic understanding of
the underlying biophysical, social and policy drivers of resource use, degradation and
rehabilitation. The basic understanding is coupled with applied research needed for more
sustainable agricultural systems that provide food and income while maintaining the
conservation areas and natural resource bases. Students from UF and African universities
attend a three-week field course that focuses on the watershed. They explore the
environmental and social factors that drive current land use and potential alternative,
sustainable land management.

         Featured Initiative: Global Food System Data Wall
The Global Food System Data Wall provides a state-of-the-art visualization and interactive
illustration of the global food system and ISFS research. Global data on fishery performance,
international trade, disease and nutrition are illustrated on the data wall. Interactive touch
screens facilitate data exploration among users. In 2018, ISFS partnered with Kathryn Stofer
to support a new class (AEC 4932) to translate content from IFAS researchers and explore
other means of using technology to enhance public access to research. Web and mobile
compatible versions of the data wall have also been created.

Finfish Aquaculture in the Gulf of Mexico: Market Potential and Interactions with Wild
Fisheries
James Anderson, Frank Asche, Taryn Garlock, Mark Musumba, Ly Nguyen
Concerns that additional supplies of U.S. farm-raised fish may compete with domestic wild fish
has contributed to resistance and litigation that has slowed aquaculture development in the
U.S. Five ISFS faculty and postdocs examined market potential for farmed fish in the Gulf of
Mexico and its interaction with wild fisheries. A large part of this work was a survey that was
administered to large seafood wholesale distributors in the US to illicit buyer preferences for
various seafood attributes. A discrete choice experiment measured tradeoffs in preferences
across of suite of seafood attributes including production method, origin, species, price and
product form. Probabilities that wholesale buyers prefer a new farmed product over existing
market products were estimated using a conditional logit model. The results indicate it is more
probable that Gulf farmed fish will substitute for imports than for domestic wild-caught fish given
U.S. wholesale buyers have a preference for domestic fish to imported fish, but no significant
preference for wild-caught fish to farmed fish. This work has resulted in one publication thus far
(Garlock et al. in press).

Sustainable Intensification Indicators Project: Are we there yet? Developing indicators
for sustainable intensification
Cheryl Palm
Part of the US AID Sustainable Intensification Innovation Lab, Cheryl Palm brought this project
to UF in 2016. She has been a co-PI of this Sustainable Intensification Innovation Lab
subproject since its inception in 2014. The project has developed indicators and metrics for
assessing and comparing the sustainability trajectory of research and development
interventions to increase agricultural productivity. Two manuals have been developed for 1:
indicator selection and tradeoff and synergy analysis (SIIL Framework Guide Sustainable
Intensification Framework Musumba, M., Grabowski, P., Palm, C., & Snapp, S. (2017) and 2:
methods for assessing indicators (Methods Manual Sustainable Intensification Assessment
25

Manual Musumba, M., Grabowski, P., Palm, C., & Snapp, S. (2017). Sustainable Intensification
Assessment Methods Manual). Training materials have also been developed and teams have
been trained in six countries in Africa and Asia. Originally designed for projects within the SIIL
Feed the Future Projects, the methodology is now promoted for many USAID projects and there
are many requests for project internationally as well as within the US.

FEATURED SYMPOSIA
               Featured Symposia: Future of Food Forum
The UF/IFAS Institute for Sustainable Food Systems hosted the Future of Food Forum on
January 15, 2020. This exciting one-day event brought together over 250 leading experts,
entrepreneurs, producers, researchers and innovators from around the world to discuss the
future of food. The keynote speaker, Dr. Louise Fresco, President of Wageningen University
& Research, gave an inspiring talk on agricultural systems of the future and the paradigm
shifts necessary to transform food production systems and address poverty, nutrition and
access to food. The keynote was followed by four high-energy sessions: The Innovators,
Food from the Land, Food from the Sea, and Food and Human Well-Being. The sessions
were comprised of talks by renowned scientists, philanthropists, entrepreneurs and
executives from leading institutions and organizations such as Syngenta, AquaBounty,
Atlantic Sapphire, the Gates Foundation, French National Institute for Agricultural Research,
Columbia University, Duke University, John Hopkins and the Florida Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services. The program covered a breadth of cross-cutting themes
from food, nutrition and society to the complexities of growing, processing, distributing,
accessing and consuming food.

       The Future of Food was a well-attended and highly publicized event. In addition to over
250 attendees from nine countries and 19 states, more than 650 professionals remotely
livestreamed the event and since the recording has been viewed more than 500 times (link to
recording). The Forum has strengthened ISFS and UF networks and opened countless
opportunities for collaborative research and policy. For example, the Future of Food has
27

catalyzed UF’s (Arie Havelaar and others) involvement in the Sustainability Initiative at
Wageningen University. Pedro Sanchez has become involved a possible collaboration
between Syngenta, UF and Cuba to introduce a new seed system in Cuba. These are two
select examples; many other collaborative efforts have been catalyzed by the event. Invited
speakers provided 11 seminars and lectures at UF in days preceding and following the
Forum. The ISFS group anticipates a high-profile interdisciplinary publication resulting from
the Forum in 2020. The ISFS’s Future of Food Forum was received as a tremendous success
across IFAS, UF and the international community, and it has broadened IFAS’s reputation in
food research and extension.

 Featured Symposia: Charoen Pokphand Foods/University of
                             Florida Shrimp Initiative
In a 2017 trade mission, the US State Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross, visited Charoen
Pokphand Foods (CPF) in Thailand. CPF is a world leader in the production of shrimp with
extensive experience in developing broodstock, production technologies and feeds for shrimp
aquaculture. Upon seeing the extent of CPF’s operations and recognizing the significant gap
in domestic supply, the Secretary of Commerce encouraged CPF to work with partners in the
US, to help develop sustainable shrimp aquaculture in the US. As a land-grant university,
University of Florida works with government, academia and industry to find solutions to
improve human well-being and help feed the world. UF is uniquely positioned to provide
expertise and lead research to enable productive collaboration with CPF. The UF/IFAS
Institute for Sustainable Food System (ISFS) has a core focus on sustainable aquatic food
systems, which aligns strongly with the CPF vision and UF is rapidly building on its extensive
expertise in systems design, veterinary medicine, nutrition, economics and policy to take a
leading role in support of global aquaculture. Leadership from both institutions decided to put
together a small symposium to bring together industry experts, senior government officials
and academic leaders to share insights in the field of food production and to further explore
the development of a Center of Excellence for Shrimp Innovation at University of Florida.
      ISFS and CPF co-hosted a small symposium at the Hilton University of Florida
Conference Center on September 18, 2018. Nearly 80 professionals from industry, university
and CPF gathered to explore a potential partnership between CPF and UF in establishing a
Center of Excellence for Shrimp Innovation at the UF campus. A vision for a Center of
Excellence with the goals of supporting the ability to produce shrimp, advancing knowledge of
shrimp aquaculture systems and helping to train the next generation of shrimp industry
leaders was presented by CPF. CPF also shared their experience with shrimp and feed
production in Thailand and performance of different production systems ranging from open
pond to pilot-scale recirculating systems. Experts from UF and the industry had opportunities
to share existing work and research that was relevant to shrimp and food production. There
were presentations on aquaculture & environmental engineering looking at water reclamation,
an overview of advances in pathology and veterinary medicine, advances in agricultural
engineering and use of biosensors for decision support in the field, as well as, summary
research from different laboratories at UF/IFAS. During the symposium, senior executives
from CPF were able to gain a broader understanding of the research, expertise and training
29

opportunities across different schools and faculties at UF. It became clear that UF has the
capacity to facilitate interdisciplinary research and that locating a Center of Excellence on
campus would leverage existing expertise.

         Featured Symposia: Seafood: A Global Commodity
Frank Asche co-organized a two-day conference on November 28-29, 2016 with the
University of Stavanger and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The key
theme of the conference was the globalization of seafood and transformations in seafood
supply chains. Thirty international professionals from academia and the seafood industry
participated at the conference in Cocoa Beach, FL. James Anderson provided a thought-
provoking keynote address on key transformations in seafood markets and the similarities
between seafood and other food markets. The remaining program was comprised of talks
from industry and leading institutions in fisheries and aquaculture economics such as Beaver
Street Fisheries, University of Florida, University of Idaho, Duke University and University of
Stavanger. Three ISFS colleagues published a paper, Anderson, Asche and Garlock 2018, in
the Journal of Commodity Markets as a result of the workshop.

            Featured Workshop: Exploring the Constraints and
                   Opportunities for Florida Finfish Aquaculture
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the University of Florida’s
Institute for Sustainable Food Systems co-hosted a small Florida Aquaculture ‘Think Tank’ on
April 27, 2018. The purpose of this meeting was to understand some industry, governance
and research perspectives regarding past and future aquaculture in Florida. Opportunities
and constraints facing finfish aquaculture in Florida and what can be done by government
entities and research institutions to improve the environment for sustainable enterprises were
discussed. Participants from University of Florida, state government and representatives from
the Florida finfish aquaculture industry were invited to participate. In addition, Sebastian
Belle, Executive Director of the Maine Aquaculture Association, attended to provide some
out-of-state perspective and to describe Maine’s progress with aquaculture. Neil Sims, co-
CEO, Kampachi Farms, LLC. Kailua-Kona, HI also attended to give his perspective based on
his extensive experience and expertise in offshore aquaculture operations. The workgroup
assembled a list of short and long-term actions to attract aquaculture investment in Florida.
The outputs of the ‘Think Tank’ are summarized in a forthcoming publication in EDIS.
