CARD hosted the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Sustainability Symposium on Thursday, April 13. The symposium was designed to bring together representatives of the college’s departments and research centers to discuss sustainable agriculture efforts, including identifying opportunities for research, teaching, and extension.

Approximately 150 experts from across the college attended the symposium, which featured several panel sessions and a poster session with 75 posters detailing research in the college. Catherine Woteki, a former CALS dean and USDA undersecretary, was a featured speaker and focused on the federal government’s sustainability efforts.

An archive of available symposium posters and certain presentations are now online.
