upon attendance and the availability of funds. This event will include talks by community thought leaders, stakeholder roundtables, small group discussions, and networking opportunities, all designed to map the future of AG2P research and develop recommendations
concerning the research investments needed to achieve that future. These recommendations have been requested by USDA-NIFA.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
