Description:
This session will provide an overview of agInnovation’s transformative Research Roadmap initiative, developed by the nationwide system of agricultural research and state agricultural experiment stations at our nation’s land-grant universities.
The initiative is focused on developing a decadal plan that outlines clear goals and ambitious research outcomes to address some of our most pressing challenges. These challenges include combating climate change, improving water resilience, and ensuring sustainable food systems. Grounded in the principles of national security and aimed at cultivating the next generation of experts, the roadmap sets forth bold and measurable outcome goals. These goals are designed to be achievable through strategic investment and are crucial for the long-term sustainability of our agricultural systems. During the session, George Smith, Chair of agInnovation, will present agInnovation’s Research Roadmap and engage with the audience to gather input from stakeholders.
Speakers:
George Smith, agInnovation Chair & Director of AgBioResearch at Michigan State University
