This investment will ensure that all students are prepared and have a fair opportunity to compete for professional jobs in science and agricultural fields

The US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) announced a $16 million investment in agricultural education and workforce development for undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds.  This investment will ensure that all students, including underrepresented and underserved students, are prepared and have a fair opportunity to compete for professional jobs in science and agricultural fields.

“Our nation is increasingly facing the challenge of meeting the demand for qualified graduates in the agricultural, food and renewable resources sectors of the US economy,” said NIFA Director Dr Carrie Castille. “USDA’s investments in students today through programmess like this will expand opportunities for tomorrow’s workforce to develop the skills and training necessary to meet the needs of the agricultural sector, while ensuring that all voices across the fabric of our society are heard and included.”

These investments are part of the Research and Extension Experiences for Undergraduates (REEU) programme, which promotes research and extension learning experiences for undergraduates such that upon graduation they can enter the agricultural workforce with exceptional knowledge and skills. This initiative helps colleges and universities provide opportunities for undergraduate students, including those from underrepresented and historically undeserved groups, minority-serving institutions, community colleges, and universities. The programme is funded by NIFA’s Agriculture Food and Research Initiative Education and Workforce Development Programme.  

USDA is committed to equity and inclusion in all of its programs and services. Investments like this opens doors, creates opportunities and helps build a future workforce that mirrors America.
