In early 2016, CALS leadership invited thought leaders in the agricultural, life sciences, and biotechnology sectors to provide guidance and direction for the North Carolina Plant Sciences Initiative (NC PSI) through four task forces: Governance and Leadership, Research and Technology, Workforce Development and Public Engagement and Advocacy and Resource Development.<\/p>\n
