A National Imperative: Reinventing Agricultural Innovation
Since 2002, public investment in agricultural research and development has dropped by more than 30%, while countries like China have increased theirs dramatically. Without immediate action, the U.S. risks falling behind on food security, climate resilience, and economic growth.
Every $1 invested in agricultural research returns $20 to the U.S. economy.
U.S. public investment has fallen to levels not seen since the 1970s.
