Program Development to Address Responsive Agriculture for the Advancement of Health - A Need Exists for Adapting Agriculture and Food Supply Systems to Reduce the Major Gaps that Exist in Nutrition Research at the Critical Intersection of Responsive Agriculture, Quality Food Production, Human Nutrition, and Health; to Lower Rates of Diet-Related Chronic Disease and Reduce Health Care Costs of Americans.

The primary objective of this agreement is to develop the research program infrastructure and foundation through capacity-building efforts to permit a cooperative, integrated, and multi-disciplinary research program conducted by Texas A&M AgriLife and the USDA, Agricultural Research Service. This program aims to better understand how agriculture and human nutrition needs can more precisely align to improve human health.

The goal of this agreement includes the support and execution of the necessary refurbishment/renovation of the cooperator's facility (Borlaug Center) to provide updated research laboratories and other space. Accomplishing the refurbishment/renovations will provide a state-of-the-science research facility, permitting the parties to conduct cooperative research studies addressing the alignment of agriculture and human nutrition needs that improve human health.
