Leveraging technologies to enhance rural Alabama's leading agricultural industries

Auburn University is one of three universities sharing a $28 million grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture, or NIFA, to establish an Institute for Rural Partnership to research the causes and conditions of challenges facing rural areas. Auburn University’s project is an inter-disciplinary effort involving the College of Agriculture, the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering, the McCrary Institute for Cyber and Critical Infrastructure Security and the Interdisciplinary Center for Advanced Manufacturing Systems, or ICAMS. The Auburn Rural Partnership aims to utilize modern technology to enhance the poultry and forestry industries in rural Alabama, while also improving the effectiveness of rural water and waste systems.
