Cultivating Scalable Solutions to End Hunger
We believe a world without hunger is possible. Our collective impact approach allows us to pioneer research, to test and evaluate innovative models for ending hunger, and to collaborate with leaders to scale those ideas for maximum impact.
The Baylor Collaborative on Hunger and Poverty employs strategies to end hunger that take into account proximity, the dignity of all people, and the need to test new solutions for old challenges.
Housed within a prominent R1 research institution, The Baylor Collaborative on Hunger and Poverty believes research and practice is cyclical, with research identifying gaps and opportunities where practice should aim its efforts, and with practice identifying where more research is needed.
There is no single sector of society that can solve a social challenge on its own. The Baylor Collaborative on Hunger and Poverty is a bridge builder that connects various stakeholders with a common goal of cultivating scalable solutions to end hunger.
