CELEBRATING LAND-GRANT TRIBAL COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Equity in Educational Land-Grant Status Act of 1994, a pivotal moment that established the land-grant status of Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) across the United States.
THE LAND-GRANT UNIVERSITY IMPACT: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES IN AGRICULTURE
Public and land-grant universities play a crucial role in developing and implementing AI and emerging technologies. These breakthroughs are revolutionizing agriculture by enhancing efficiency, productivity, and sustainability.
Land-grant universities and state research agencies are using multiple technologies to solve production challenges and provide educational outreach.
Controlled environments such as growth chambers and greenhouses are used to produce a wide variety of crops. Precise control of temperature, humidity, and light is useful for growing crops under specific parameters that cannot be achieved otherwise.
