CAUSES-TV :USDA and Agricultural Research

Agriculture is the science behind our entire food system, examining questions like: How do we grow food? How can we grow more of it to feed a growing world population? How can we grow it in ways that are sustainable, ensuring safe water, and maintaining healthy soils? How can we grow food in cities? 

On this episode of CAUSES TV, Dean Sabine O'Hara interviews Dr. Chavonda Jacobs-Young,  Administrator of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s chief scientific research agency, the Agricultural Research Service. As Administrator, she oversees all research activities. Joining her is Dr. Gene Lester, who serves as a National Program Leader for product quality and biofuels.
