USDA-NIFA HSI Education Grants Program

In collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA), this project provides underrepresented undergraduate and graduate students with experiential learning opportunities in agriculture. It integrates economics, precision agriculture, remote sensing, soil science, AI, and big data to enhance the resilience of the farming sector and agricultural ecosystem. The initiative equips students with the tools necessary to address complex challenges in agriculture and food systems, emphasizing soil and water conservation, farm enhancement, and the application of AI and big data in agricultural contexts.
