The Regional Research
Centers: Putting Agriculture to Use
Five short videos tell
how yesterday's research at our four utilization centers has helped
defined today's America—and
how today's research may shape tomorrow. The four centers work
to solve problems of national significance by discovering new uses
for agricultural commodities and new processes for improving food
safety and product quality.
The
videos shed light on what is often present, but more often unknown
to the public—our
major role in a host of everyday products on
our store shelves, as well as important processes
relied on by the food industry and other economic sectors.
The first
video listed below gives an overview
of the four utilization centers and why Congress authorized their creation.
The other four
videos present unique accomplishments and goals of each center.
