Thursday, October 8, will be a very important day for USDA science, with the formal launch of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture . USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack intends to deliver a major address on the future of USDA science at the National Press Club.
The event – including the Secretary’s remarks – will be webcast live at www.Visualwebcaster.com/NIFA-Rollout beginning at 2 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
NIFA replaces USDA's Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Services. Like CSREES, NIFA focuses on investing in science and solving critical issues impacting people's daily lives and the nation's future. For more information, visit www.nifa.usda.gov. CSREES continues to fund programs at the Southern University Ag Center throughout the state.
