Farm Journal Foundation: Indiana State Dialogue Event

Join the Farm Journal Foundation for a panel discussion on the benefits of agriculture R&D to farmers, consumers, the private sector in Indiana, the U.S. and the world.

Agriculture research investments ensure farmers, as well as the larger agricultural community, can weather tough challenges. Panelists will cover how agricultural R&D can address challenges to our food system driven by COVID-19, the conflict in Ukraine and food and input price inflation.

As a leader in food and agriculture research, FFAR is pleased to support and attend this event to highlight the importance of agriculture research and the value of such research in addressing current crises. FFAR’s public-private partnership model plays a critical role in amplifying federal investment in agriculture R&D, which supports productivity and sustainability.
