Higher Education Series: Episode 3 - Agribusiness & Higher Ed

5/26/2023

0 Comments

 
What is a land grant university and why does it matter – especially when it comes to Idaho’s agriculture industry? The third and final episode of the Higher Education Series features the programs and groundbreaking research taking place in the University of Idaho’s College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS), arguably the R&D arm for much of Idaho’s ag industry. Learn more about U of I led projects in agriculture like the nation’s largest research dairy, methods to study soil deeper than anywhere in the world, and how U of I CALS is in your backyard, contributing to the health and prosperity of Idahoans statewide.

The Higher Education Series is made possible by the generous support of Sparklight!
