Agriculture and Food Research Initiative - Integrated Solutions for Animal Agriculture
The solution to most animal agriculture problems is complex and requires not only a robust research effort, but a strong translational outreach that integrates the most up to date knowledge into cost effective strategies that producers and decision makers can adopt. There is enough knowledge to begin to improve production efficiency and/or reduce the impact of costly animal diseases. To be most successful in bringing new/improved solutions to the field and academic curriculums, strong multidisciplinary teams must be initiated and sustained for multiple years. Such teams must include those with expertise in animal production and/or animal disease, trained evaluators, economists, social scientists, and/or others to assess the cost-benefit of various approaches, effects on behavior modification, etc. The goal of this program is to implement projects that are responsive to high priority, economically relevant needs of the animal agriculture sector.
