Welcome
to the Food Distribution Research Society (FDRS) Web
Site. FDRS is the only body of scholars and practitioners
in the United States dedicated to the study, monitoring
and sharing of knowledge about the dramatic changes
that are taking place in the global food system. In
this Web site, we provide information about the structure,
leadership, history, and activities of the Society.
Our objective is to make FDRS as an institution, and
the expertise of individual members, better known and
more accessible to various clientele groups around the
world.
The
Food Distribution Research Society meets today's challenges
in several ways. The Journal of Food Distribution Research,
which has been published since 1969, is the principal
academic product and outlet for research dissemination.
Annual meetings provide the opportunity for exchange
of ideas among practitioners, researchers, and government
agencies. Newsletters give updates on society activities.
The entire membership is encouraged to provide suggestions
for improvement in these activities.
The
Food Distribution Research Society supports research
on food industry topics through Applebaum Awards. The
categories are work at the doctoral level, and at the
M. S. level (both thesis and non-thesis), for a total
of 3 awards annually.
A
strategic planning committee is exploring other services
and activities to maintain the Society's relevance and
to provide additional value to members and nonmembers
alike.
Enjoy
your visit to the Food Distribution Research Society
Web Site, and provide your suggestions for improvement.
