The Center for Digital Agriculture and the Prairie Research Institute have partnered to offer seed funding for joint research projects.
The initiative aims to facilitate collaborations that find innovative solutions for societal challenges using digital technologies to enhance agricultural sustainability. In addition to sparking joint research and development activities, the partnership aims to lead to sponsored funding, private sector partnerships, workforce development and training, and service to the State of Illinois and beyond.
“PRI is a vital engine for science-driven impact across Illinois and beyond, and CDA is excited to join forces to apply cutting-edge digital tools to pressing challenges in agriculture and the environment,” said CDA Executive Director John Reid.
