Can we do non-food related projects?

• Absolutely! We don't restrict your free will in choosing the projects you want to go on. The reason we initially focused on food was that the hunger crisis is one of the most pressing & important challenges faced by the developing world. Nutrition and agriculture projects are also very cost effective in terms of impact for dollars spent and provide undergraduates with something that they can participate in.
