Agriculture Nutrition Workshop

On August 1-2, the IHA held its first workshop to engage selected key stakeholders from the food-ag value chain. Working to focus food systems on improving human health, while supporting the environment and economy, the IHA used this workshop to engage production agriculture
groups to further understand priorities, gaps and opportunities in precision nutrition, responsive agriculture, and social and behavioral research.

Bringing together over 50 people from over 30 different organizations, representing commodities nationally and in Texas, the two-day event gave production agriculture groups an unprecedented opportunity to share and discuss their human nutrition research programs and priorities.
