SUMMARY:Crossroads of Ideas: Wisconsin's Role in Shaping the Future of Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Glenda Gillaspy (UW-Madison College of Agriculture and Life Sciences) moderates a lively panel discussion.\n\n\nThis engaging panel discussion will take a deeper look into the innovation and tradition of Wisconsin agriculture and the opportunities and challenges we face at the leading edge of sustainable systems. Moderated by Dr. Glenda Gillaspy\, Dean of UW-Madison College of Agricultural and Life Sciences\, and featuring researchers who are helping establish Wisconsin as the leader in agricultural advancement and innovation. \nPanelists: \n\nDr. Julie Dawson – Professor in the UW-Madison Department of Plant and Agroecosystem Sciences and Extension Specialist for Regional Food Systems. Research and extension interests include plant breeding for organic systems and participatory research in regional food systems. She is an academic cooperator with the USDA on the Farmer Seed Liaison initiative\, focused on promoting fair competition and innovation in the seed industry.\nDr. Randy Jackson – Joined the Department of Agronomy (now the Department of Plant & Agroecosystem Sciences) at UW-Madison in 2003. Jackson teaches Grassland Ecology and co-instructs Agroecology-An Introduction to the Ecology of Food and Agriculture.
