Cooperative research and knowledge transfer at saras: Subarctic Agricultural Research Unit reestablished

摘要

The federal Agricultural Research Service (ARS) has reestablished an Alaska unit based at the School of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences. The new Subarctic Agricultural Research Unit will work on projects to enhance the productivity, profitability, and environmental quality of Alaska's farming industry and natural resources. Because ARS scientists ate affiliated with the school, with opportunities to cooperate and coordinate research efforts, the association is expected to be mutually beneficial. ARS previously operated an Alaska unit that was closed in the mid 1980s.
