Combatting citrus greening: Triple Helix advocates for agtech innovation, government support
Ryan Daily talks to Dr. Sarah Garland about the latest report by the Tripe Helix Institute — Catalyzing U.S. AgTech Innovation: Opportunities for the Federal Government — advocating for government AgTech to propel innovation and investment in the challenges facing U.S. agriculture.
Through a series of roundtables with stakeholders in New York, Illinois, California and North Carolina, the report identifies areas where coordinated federal action in AgTech is essential to strengthening U.S. agricultural productivity and resilience as a matter of national security.
The report was well-received by congressional staffers when presented on Capitol Hill at a briefing supported by Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski (IL-13) on June 25th along with remarks from former Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman.
