"The problems we face: Ensuring enough food for a growing population; Addressing the existential threat of global climate change; and, Transforming our food system from being reliant on exploitive and extractive practices to being regenerative and restorative – these all have a common denominator: scientific breakthroughs hold the solution."
"The science-based solutions, groundbreaking research, and useful data you provide are invaluable for farmers to accelerate productivity and sustainability of crops, for ranchers to efficiently manage livestock, and for consumers to make informed choices about these products that are so essential to our daily lives."
"There are too many rural communities experiencing struggling economies, deteriorating and limited access to health care, and inadequate infrastructure. These obstacles hinder growth and, unfortunately, are not broadly understood across the country."
