A multi-institutional team of researchers led by The University of Texas at Arlington is launching an effort to provide small and underserved farmers in Texas, Arkansas and Missouri with resources to enhance the sustainability of their soybean production.
A multi-institutional team of researchers led by The University of Texas at Arlington is launching an effort to provide small and underserved farmers in Texas, Arkansas and Missouri with resources to enhance the sustainability of their soybean production.
Woo-Suk Chang, associate professor of biology, and collaborators from Texas A&M AgriLife, Tarleton State University and University of Missouri received notice of a nearly $5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) through Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities to establish climate-smart agricultural practices to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and increase soybean production.
“The agricultural industry will soon be a leader in the fight against climate change,” Chang said. “Within the last 20 years, advances in plant breeding and biological soil amendments have allowed sustainable and regenerative agriculture to take on a more pivotal role in aiding the fight against the destruction of our planet.”
