NIFA is committed to developing a STEM workforce that is representative of current and projected demographics in America. A diverse workforce will drive the continued success of both agriculture and the U.S. economy as well as serving the nation’s many varied communities. NIFA supports this future workforce through specialized partnerships and programs that build institutional capacity, facilitate access to higher education and provide experiential learning opportunities in the community. A number of NIFA programs provide critical support to the nation’s 1890 Land-grant Colleges and Universities as they work to bolster the diversity of the nation’s STEM workforce. ▶️ https://www.nifa.usda.gov/about-nifa/impacts/1890-colleges-universities-support-stem-education | USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture
