Agricultural Research

Cover of the 2024 edition of 'Re:search' magazine from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. The title reads 'Ag 5.0 - Science, Meet Society.' The cover features images highlighting various agricultural research initiatives, including a woman holding a sheep labeled 'Cultivating climate-smart sheep,' a group of students walking through a greenhouse with the text 'Teaching the next generation,' and a hand holding a plant with the text 'Connecting small farms with big data.' The university's logo and name appear at the bottom.

In the latest edition of our magazine, you'll see how technology and science create opportunities to cultivate a transformative approach to teaching and practicing agriculture.
