Ag leaders from Michigan State University are asking for new funding from the state to address research, outreach, and education gaps.
MSU AgBioResearch Director Dr. George Smith says the Securing Environmentally Sustainable Michigan Agriculture, or SESMA, Initiative will prioritize soil and plant health, water quantity and quality, and precision technologies.
“This initiative is not about Michigan State University, it’s about Michigan agriculture, so if there is talent at the University of Michigan and other universities in the state that can help solve these problems, folks from any of our community colleges or universities can partner,” he explains.
