Recipient: Tiffanie Stone
Degree Program: Environmental Science, Ph.D.
Nominated By: Thomas Isenhart — Professor of Natural Resource Ecology and Management
Isenhart: “[Tiffanie] uses empirical data collection and modeling techniques that require large datasets to examine the characteristics of existing food systems and predict those of future systems with changes in production and consumption of local foods. Her research in this arena is also a key part of a larger transdisciplinary effort (the “Iowa UrbanFEWS” project led by investigators at Iowa State as part of the NSF [National Science Foundation] “Innovations at the Nexus of Food, Energy and Water Systems” grant program) to investigate environmental and social impacts associated with changing land use, farming practices, and consumer behavior in the Des Moines, Iowa area.”

Congratulations, Tiffanie!
