The Zwick Center provides economic analysis for problems related to food, environment, energy, and sustainable economic development. This practical information supports the functioning of markets and decision-makers in the public and private sector. Contact us to discuss your project and how we can help!
The Center's goal is to improve society's wellbeing by providing research results in the form of practical information for individuals, firms and public policy-makers to use to enhance decision-making outcomes and the functioning of markets.
In 2010, alumnus Charles J. Zwick donated $1 million to the University of Connecticut’s Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics and the Food Marketing Policy Center. His generous gift expanded the mission of the Center to include economic and policy studies on energy, food policy and health, natural resource economics and land use, and agriculture. In recognition of this tremendous gift, and the broadened mandate, the Center was renamed the Zwick Center for Food and Resource Policy.
