We Motivate

The world needs the next generation of creative and innovative minds engaged in the science of food to meet a critical challenge ahead of us. Yet, science of food educators report alarming declines in the number of students enrolled in food science studies.

The Feeding Tomorrow Fund is dedicated to reversing this troubling trend by inspiring the next generation to consider careers in food science—and connecting with them early.

We Support

Through the Feeding Tomorrow Fund, IFT actively works to remove obstacles to education in the sciences, particularly for those most impacted by limited access to nutritious food. As the cost of college rises, higher education slips out of reach for many.
