Are You Looking to Enhance Your Leadership Performance?

Food Systems Leadership Institute (FSLI) is dedicated to developing individual and institutional leadership for a 21st Century food system.

The program curriculum focuses on a series of core leadership competencies and three complementary threads: individual leadership; leading change within organizations; and understanding and influencing complex, diverse food systems. This curriculum lays the groundwork for leaders who will transition food systems research, education, and outreach to broader, more holistic approaches.

FSLI is a program of the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU) with support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. North Carolina State University is the primary host institution, responsible for program implementation and hosting FSLI scholars during one of their three onsite residential sessions. The Ohio State University and California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo are also partners in the FSLI, providing their expertise in leadership and food systems to the FSLI curriculum and hosting onsite residential sessions for FSLI participants.

Empowering purpose-driven catalysts in the food system and beyond

“I have gained an appreciation for the complexity of the challenges facing leaders at higher levels of university administration and also the sense of my own abilities and skills.”
