F4H operates as a coordination-light node connecting Columbia researchers, institutional partners — including the FACT Alliance and GAIN — and a broader network of practitioners and policymakers across more than 30 countries, working at the intersection of climate science and food systems. We are deliberately lean in structure, but active in coordinating across this network to mobilize funding, advance research, and improve how food security intelligence reaches the people who need it.

MIT · J-WAFS / FACT Alliance F4H collaborates through the Food and Climate Systems Transformation Alliance on global food-climate research coordination across 20+ institutions.

Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) F4H engages GAIN's global programs on nutrition-climate linkages and food systems monitoring across 30+ countries.

Stockholm Initiative for Food Security F4H is partnering with the Stockholm Initiative for Food Security, a Swedish NGO working at the intersection of education, agricultural knowledge-sharing, and food security policy in Africa. With active connections across West African universities and national institutions, SIFS brings deep regional networks and a focus on building local capacity for sustainable food systems.

Rethinking Early Warning (REW) F4H leads the REW initiative in collaboration with Tulane University, the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC), and independent humanitarian practitioners to co-develop demand-driven intelligence platforms that translate climate forecasts into actionable early warning for frontline decision-makers.

Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) F4H collaborates with Christian Otto and Kilian Kuhla on cascade risk modeling and climate-driven disruptions in global trade networks.

King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) F4H works with Yoshihide Wada on water-food-climate interactions and hydrological modeling under climate stress.

University of Oxford · Environmental Change Institute F4H collaborates with Steven Lord on food system economics and hidden cost modeling at the intersection of climate, trade, and food insecurity.

New York University · Department of Environmental Studies F4H collaborates with NYU's Department of Environmental Studies on climate-agriculture interactions and sustainable agricultural transitions.

New York Botanical Garden F4H collaborates with Alex McAlvay on agrobiodiversity, traditional cropping systems, and Indigenous food sovereignty — connecting climate resilience in food production to the Living Lab's longer-term vision.
