From the seed of an idea for creating solutions to the world\u2019s biggest agricultural challenges, the North Carolina Plant Sciences Initiative has blossomed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the state-of-the-art Plant Sciences Building laboratories on Centennial Campus as well as on research stations and farmers\u2019 fields in North Carolina and beyond, our researchers are on a quest for better agricultural systems \u2013 ones that are more resilient and more economically, environmentally and socially sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re proud to be growing one of the world\u2019s strongest hubs for agricultural technology, right here in North Carolina. We\u2019re nurturing startup companies that are bringing new problem-solving technologies to the market. And, perhaps most significantly, we\u2019re educating and training tomorrow\u2019s industry leaders and plant scientists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These researchers are breaking down disciplinary silos and partnering with growers, industry leaders and state, federal and local governments and agencies to advance agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our initiative is gaining momentum, and we invite you to join us. Engage with us. Partner with us. Study with us. Work with us. Contribute to our research and education enterprise. The future of food and agriculture depends on you.
