Inventory of the institution’s sustainability research:
Dr. Jerry Kavouras, Biology
Research topic was on the local food system in Will County. This research involved addressing the challenges we currently see within our food system and creating a network to connect our farmers directly with institutions through quantitative data methods.
A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
The University lists faculty research on the Lewis University website. Information was taken from data listed there. Abstracts for the research projects are also available from that site. Each abstract is read to determine a connection to sustainability. If a connection is found, a follow up is made to the faculty/staff member to gather more information regarding the project. If it fits the criteria, they are counted towards this credit.
