Agriculture contributes $84 billion to the state\u2019s economy and generates 663,200 jobs. More than 60% of that impact stems directly from food-animal systems \u2014 and that\u2019s not counting offshore marine fisheries and plant-based agribusiness that supplies feedstocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At North Carolina State University, we\u2019re helping North Carolina become the world leader in food-animal sciences by coordinating new research with existing, proven infrastructure. The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) and the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) have partnered to lead this interdisciplinary initiative. As our work grows, we\u2019ll enlist the support of our partners at NC&#160;State and other land grant universities, government and industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ncst-big-fact has-green-400-background-color\"><div class=\"big-fact__container\"><h2 class=\"big-fact__heading\"> Feeding 9.5 Billion by 2050 <\/h2><p class=\"big-fact__support\">Requires a 73% Increase in Animal Food Production.<br><strong>Our Initiative Will Make N.C. a Leader in Feeding the World.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-ncst-buttons\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-strategic-approach-to-real-innovation\">A Strategic Approach to Real Innovation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To&nbsp;encourage collaborative research in animal science, CALS and CVM will fund three competitive Strategic Enrichment Research Grants.
