Research in the field of international development seeks solutions for many of the most pressing and challenging problems people face in the world, including poverty, food insecurity and conflict. Telling the stories of this work and its impact can play a powerful role in raising awareness about these challenges but also the growing body of tested and proven solutions. The Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Markets, Risk & Resilience at UC Davis seeks undergraduate student writers to join us to tell stories about solutions that could have a positive impact worldwide.
