NIFA & H1N1 Death
NIFA & H1N1 Death plus Food Forethought. I’m Greg Martin with today’s Northwest Report.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has launched the National Institute of Food and Agriculture. NIFA will be the Ag Department's extramural research enterprise. The Secretary explained the intent behind the newly establish position of USDA Chief Scientist and newly established NIFA.
VILSACK: NIFA has many responsibilities. NIFA will integrate planning of science across USDA with its partners and beneficiaries of science. It will enhance education and create opportunities for the brightest and best scientists to establish careers in food and agricultural science. It will also improve processes for engaging traditional and non-traditional stakeholders throughout the realm of research, education and outreach activities. And it should enable us to aggressively partner with our other federal science agencies.
Now with today’s Food Forethought, here’s Lacy Gray.

Thanks Lacy. That’s today’s Northwest Report. I’m Greg Martin on the Northwest Ag Information Network.
