On February 28th, 2012 FEAD became an official student group at Chicago Booth. To mark this occasion we threw FEAD a birthday celebration! With a great turnout we discussed FEAD's mission, goals, membership details, and upcoming events. A quick overview--the Food, Environment, Agribusiness and Development (FEAD) Group is a new professional group at Booth for students interested in careers in food and agribusiness, ranging from agricultural production, commodity investing, CPG, restaurant retail, and more. In the Spring quarter, FEAD plans to host several events, including:

-Food/Agriculture Entrepreneurship Meetup 
-Chicago Board of Trade Visit
-Chef/Restaurateur Panel

-Social event with UChicago Policy School Food Policy Group and Law School Food Law Group
-Craft Brew Making Business Field Trip
-Green City Farmers Market Tour

Happy Birthday FEAD!
