Rhode Island Reds: The Potential Application of European Agri-Environmental Policies in the New England Region
Faculty Sponsor: Kathryn DeMaster
Lucy investigated the applicability of European agri-environmental policies in support of more environmentally sustainable and socially just agricultural practices in the Rhode Island context. More specifically, she explored the promotion of Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), a certification process that fosters institutional commitments to cultural and agricultural place-based food heritage.
