Project Description: The Sustainable Michigan Endowed Project is an initiative of Michigan State University (MSU). It provides a venue for ongoing scholarly reflection and critique on the sustainability of Michigan, as well as seed grants for sustainability research from a Michigan state-level perspective. SMEP also provides a venue for on-going, long-term sustainability discourse with the goal of influencing the intellectual culture within MSU, and particularly the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
The objectives of the Sustainable Michigan Endowed Project (SMEP) are focused on research that supports sustainable development in Michigan. A major goal is to bring credibility and support to integrative efforts. The SMEP has an executive committee composed mainly of endowed chairs who have pledged to share viewpoints, methodologies, projects, leadership, research agenda, and policy analysis so as to be catalysts for a portfolio of multidisciplinary research that will provide the foundation for healthier communities, economies, and ecosystems in Michigan. SMEP also is serving as a venue for coordination of other WKKF-MSU related projects such as land use, consumer-responsive agriculture, community based food systems and production-ecology.
The Committee sees SMEP as a vehicle for ongoing, long term sustainability discourse as well as related research in order to evolve and change the intellectual culture within MSU—and particularly CANR, provide a venue for ongoing scholarly reflection and critique, provide seed grants for research sustainability from a Michigan state-level perspective, and link findings and learning from state-level forum and research to the national, international and global perspectives.
