The American Soybean Association (ASA) sent a letter this week expressing support for the “Pursuing a Unifying Message” report and the goal of establishing food and agricultural research as a national priority.
In the letter to Dr. Greg Bohach, vice president for the Division of Agriculture, Forestry and Veterinary Medicine at Mississippi State University, ASA endorsed the report’s key findings and agreed that “we need a loud, clear and common message that investments in broadly defined food, agricultural and natural resources research must increase.”
The report was released in November 2014 by MSU, Iowa State University, the Soil and Water Conservation Society, Texas Tech University and Colorado State University. It serves as a stepping stone for setting a strategy to move agriculture to the forefront of government-funded research.
ASA offered to partner with all public or private stakeholders who share this vision.
