The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $747,234 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to New Mexico State University (NMSU) to contribute to broadening participation in artificial intelligence (AI) research, education and workforce development. This 12-month project, running from November 1, 2024 to October 31, 2025, is a partnership between NMSU and the AI Institute for Next Generation Food Systems (AIFS) to expand AI research capacity and create new educational opportunities targeting Hispanic students and other underrepresented groups. The project aims to develop AI innovations for resilient food infrastructure and climate-smart agriculture. Through this partnership, NMSU will expand its AI research and training offerings, while AIFS will benefit from newly developed AI methodologies and tools to support its existing research.
