University of Missouri researcher Kiruba Krishnaswamy is focused on tackling this global challenge. She recently received a five-year, $532,000 Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) &mdash; the NSF&rsquo;s most prestigious award for early-career faculty &mdash; in support of her project titled &ldquo;FEAST (food ecosystems and circularity for sustainable transformation) framework to address hidden hunger.&rdquo;</p>
