concentration in Food Systems, Agriculture, and the Environment. Faculty
in the department working in this area include Michael Bell, Cornelia
Flora, Jan Flora, Clare Hinrichs, Peter Korsching, Paul Lasley, Steve

Recent departmental research has focused on socio-cultural factors in the

indigenous knowledge in agriculture; women and agricultural leadership;
retail farmers' markets and rural development; community food systems in a
globalizing context; community based measurement of ecosystem health; and
environmental conflict and structural change in livestock agriculture.
Iowa State University is also home to the Leopold Center for Sustainable
