The Cultural Research & Engagement Fellows (CREF) Program at Mississippi State University explores the social and cultural dimensions of food systems, food access, land in majority-Black, historically agrarian rural communities by engaging youth at the nexus of food access, farming, and culture. The CREF program is made possible by a grant from the Office of Research & Economic Development (ORED) and the Office of Institutional Diversity and Inclusion (OIDI) at Mississippi State University
