Project will focus on how climate change is impacting cheesemakers.
BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Nyenta -- The Daphne Zepos Teaching Endowment (DZTE) announced the recipient of its annual $2,500 Daphne Zepos Research Award (DZRA) scholarship to writer and cheese educator Alexandra Jones. She is the third recipient of the award since it was established in 2021. Alexandra will spend the next year researching how unprecedented climate shifts have impacted cheesemakers, how they are adapting, and how they are working to mitigate their climate impact.
"It's incredibly validating and encouraging to receive this award for an issue that doesn't get as much attention as it should. The relationship between climate change and our food supply is an issue that affects literally everyone," Jones said.
"This is an important topic that lives at the intersection of culture, climate, and our food systems," noted Daphne Zepos Teaching Endowment co-president, Brandi Wills. "The board of directors is excited to work with and support Alexandra over the next year."
