Our collective impact, briefly.

The Department of Global Development places a priority on research, teaching and extension that make an impact. In the Global Development Impact Brief series, we spotlight work, often involving nonacademic partnerships, that drives positive change within our areas of signature strength: food and nutritional security, wellbeing and inclusion, and environmental sustainability.

The series is designed to highlight Global Development’s work in order to give readers insights into how we are working to create a more equitable, sustainable, and food-secure world for all.

The quarterly series is written by Global Development faculty, often in collaboration with their partners, and is spearheaded by the department's Public Scholarship Committee.
