Abstract:
Agricultural Research Services (ARS) is the research arm of the Department of Agriculture that develops and transfers solutions to agricultural problems affecting Americans every day, from field to table. To accelerate the development of new products and help move technologies into the marketplace, ARS often partners with companies and research institutions early on in the research process. Working collaboratively alongside ARS, partners are able access and implement ARS technologies, resources and expertise to further develop specific products and create new ones. ARS conducts research in 800 projects at 90 locations including six pilot plants and six human nutrition centers. With a long standing commitment to technology transfer, ARS works closely with the private sector to ensure research outcomes are adopted.
