[Baton
Rouge, La] The Southern University Agricultural Research and Extension Center (Southern
University Ag Center) has released a new programmatic video entitled Discovering
21st Century Opportunities.
This
15-minute video production demonstrates the broad spectrum of research programs
that the Center provides,
and illustrates the important contributions that the agricultural sciences and
related industries make to the economic prosperity of Louisiana. The Southern University Ag Center conducts
statewide basic and applied research in the areas of Sustainable Agricultural
Production Systems; Human Nutrition, Diet and Health; Family, Youth Development
and Enrichment; Urban Forestry; Natural Resources and Environment and
Economics, Marketing, Policy and Community Development. Useful research-based
information is disseminated to the citizens of Louisiana to enhance the lives
of underserved and socially disadvantaged communities in Louisiana.
Through
applied research, scientists at the Southern
University Ag Center are discovering new opportunities to improve
quality of life among underserved citizens. In this video, faculty, staff,
students and administrators discuss the innovative ideas that constantly
enhance the economic status of marginalized citizens across Louisiana. The
video can be accessed by visiting the Center’s website at www.suagcenter.com, clicking
on the “YouTube” button at the top right corner, or going directly to YouTube
channel at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZx_xk_NHz0. A copy of the video may be
requested by sending an email to communications@suagcenter.com.In 2001, Southern University Agricultural Research and Extension Center, the fifth campus of the Southern University System was founded out of the need to increase the impact of Southern University’s land grant programs for the citizens of Louisiana. This goal is achieved by continually making contributions to the overall growth in quality of life by addressing citizens’ scientific, technological, social, economic and cultural needs, just as the Mississippi River has made contributions to the physical and economic growth of the United States.
