Dr. Terri A. Long, Professor of Plant Biology and Platform Director for Education and Workforce Development for the North Carolina Plant Sciences Initiative, North Carolina State University
Agriculture/agribusiness is the number one driver of North Carolina’s economy. But did you know that in 2023, for the first time in history, the US imported more agricultural goods than we exported? Did you also know that today, agriculture requires expertise in everything from horticulture to engineering, mathematics, AI and beyond? Join Dr. Terri Long to learn about how scientists and staff at NCSU are working to chart new territory in translational plant science and outreach to bring new solutions to the growing challenges facing NC agriculture and agriculture workforce development.
