Progress 01/15/12 to 01/14/17
Outputs Target Audience:This was a graduate student training grant and thus graduate students and employers in agriculture and natural resource management were the targeted audiences. Changes/Problems:
Nothing Reported
What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?See above. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?We have placed numerous graduates into the agricultural workforce. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?
Nothing Reported
Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
We recruited six top-notch students to meet the challenges of agricultural sustainability and biosecurity in the 21st century. Implemented an innovative, interdisciplinary, interdepartmental, and interinstitutional research and academic program that offers significant elective flexibility to meet the individual career needs of students. Provided students with the analytical, problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills necessary to be successful in a globally-interconnected, technologically-advanced, and rapidly diversifying and changing work environment. Provided a scholarly atmosphere in which students address interdisciplinary questions and work in teams toward the development of sustainable and safe agroecosystem practices. Provided students with internship, research, teaching, and outreach opportunities that will enhance their leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills. Provided an increased number of workforce-ready and globally-competitive graduates in the food and agricultural sciences. Provided a more competitive, highly-trained, diverse agricultural workforce, higher productivity with sustainable environmental practices, and safer food and agricultural supply.
