USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) today announced three grants totaling nearly $3 million designed to boost food security by minimizing livestock losses to insects and diseases.
"These grants will allow scientists to discover the new tools and technologies necessary to deal with the threats insects and pathogens pose to livestock production in our nation, which ultimately benefit consumers through abundant, affordable food." said Sonny Ramaswamy, NIFA director.
