Diversity of Louisiana Agriculture

South Louisiana is the perfect setting to discuss changes in agricultural science that address climate change, environmental pressures, and adapting our landscape for a sustainable food supply. The culture and traditions of the region have been shaped by the agricultural industries that perfectly coexist on young fertile soils deposited by the Mighty Mississippi River and a rapidly changing Gulf of Mexico coastline. As a hub for agricultural diversity, Louisiana serves as a perfect example of synergistic innovation and progress for environmental stewardship and economic prosperity. We hope to highlight the region and its contribution to crop science for all our attendees.
