Future of Food in the Mountain West: Examining Priority Research Questions and Funding Opportunities

Environmental pressures and the high consumption of ultra-processed foods are currently straining food systems and human health across the Mountain West. Our symposium addresses these challenges by sharing the results of a 2025 Horizon Scan, where regional scientists identified priority research questions for the area. Through expert presentations and a World Café discussion, participants will refine these research agendas and explore new funding opportunities.
