The Food Systems Planning and Healthy Communities Lab ('the UB Food Lab'), a research group led by Dr. Samina Raja, housed in the School of Architecture and Planning at the University at Buffalo (UB) engages in research that critically examines the role of local government policy in facilitating equitable, healthy , and sustainable communities. The Lab is especially focused on community food systems as space and lever for creating positive change in our backyard (Buffalo) and in the Global South.
