WE DEVELOP LEADERS IN AGRICULTURE
The agricultural workforce of today faces complex challenges related to technological advancements, global supply chains, and addressing the growing demands for food security. The gross economic value of agriculture in the state of Louisiana is 10.9 billion dollars and agriculture holds the distinction as the second largest industry in the state. The annual economic impact from agriculture is 30 billion dollars. Louisiana ports ship 60% of grain for the United States.
“According to some predictions global crop production will need to at least double by 2050 to meet projected food demand resulting from population growth and the ongoing shift to richer diets (Godfray et al. 2010, Tilman et al. 2011, Alexandratos and Bruinsma 2012).
