- [00:00:12.010]public research universities with more than
- [00:00:14.350]253 million dollars in total research expenditures.
- [00:00:18.797]Discovery and innovation secure the future
- [00:00:21.797]by feeding the world without diminishing
- [00:00:24.617]precious natural resources.
- [00:00:27.035]The world is very interconnected
- [00:00:28.515]on these issues of water and food.
- [00:00:30.514]We've built the capability to engineer crops
- [00:00:34.595]for nutrition, for bio-energy traits,
- [00:00:37.315]for traits that help them to grow
- [00:00:39.495]against adverse conditions.
- [00:00:41.515]We lead an international team of researchers
- [00:00:43.915]who are developing a global food atlas
- [00:00:46.115]to help increase crop yields.
- [00:00:48.775]We could create a global atlas
- [00:00:51.155]of food production potential
- [00:00:52.795]that's never been produced before.
- [00:00:54.855]Nebraska is on of the states that are known to be
- [00:00:58.384]really advanced in agriculture.
- [00:01:00.735]And University of Nebraska, Lincoln
- [00:01:02.434]is one of the best universities in the agriculture field.
- [00:01:05.175]UNL scientists forge solutions
- [00:01:08.035]to our most difficult challenges.
- [00:01:10.335]From new materials built on the atomic scale
- [00:01:13.535]to the study of viruses that attack
- [00:01:15.895]humans, plants, and animals.
- [00:01:17.935](uptempo music)
- [00:01:20.845]We prepare our students for a global world,
- [00:01:23.562]providing opportunities for undergraduate research,
- [00:01:26.622]internships and study abroad.
- [00:01:29.222]We really are very focused on promoting education
- [00:01:32.602]and training graduate students
- [00:01:34.016]and undergraduate students in this work.
- [00:01:36.056]You get to put what you studied into practice.
- [00:01:38.537]I think, which is a good skill to have.
- [00:01:40.417]The power of partnerships
- [00:01:42.636]help to bring new and innovative ideas to life,
- [00:01:45.457]both locally and globally.
- [00:01:47.977]Nebraska Innovation Campus creates
- [00:01:50.357]private sector collaboration by connecting
- [00:01:53.137]business and industry with university research and students.
- [00:01:57.356]We have a lot of different core facilities here
- [00:01:59.697]that provide access to very powerful equipment.
- [00:02:02.876]The intrisitiy of finding students to go do, you know,
- [00:02:06.421]further internships or you can do research.
- [00:02:09.621]I think it's a great bonus to my experience and my future.
- [00:02:14.021]Degrees are offered in 38 areas of study
- [00:02:17.261]through the College of Agricultural Sciences
- [00:02:19.562]and Natural Resources.
- [00:02:21.651]You get to be exposed to many things.
- [00:02:24.094]It can be agricultural engineering,
- [00:02:25.955]conservation agriculture, apprenticeship and leadership.
- [00:02:28.255]Put that together and that can help you in the future
- [00:02:31.015]because you have a really good experience.
- [00:02:33.035]Students work alongside their professors
- [00:02:36.155]gaining hands on experience as part of a diverse community.
