[00:00:00.604](upbeat music)
[00:00:03.152]Today we launched the
[00:00:06.098]Nebraska Food for Health Center.
[00:00:08.557]A new university wide multi-disciplinary effort
[00:00:11.718]that will transform the way
[00:00:13.627]we look at human health
[00:00:15.029]and then the diseases
[00:00:16.797]that affect so many of us.
[00:00:18.544](upbeat music)
[00:00:24.143]We have been envisioning
[00:00:26.012]a larger effort
[00:00:27.455]around food for health.
[00:00:29.902]So this is a full-spectrum effort,
[00:00:33.124]if you will, that we're on the front
[00:00:35.672](mumbling) of building.
[00:00:38.068](upbeat music)
[00:00:51.551]Now because the food that we eat
[00:00:53.900]feeds thee organisms, it's also not surprising
[00:00:57.638]that diet is one of the biggest factors
[00:01:00.064]that influences this gut microbiome
[00:01:02.542]this huge mass of organisms.
[00:01:05.144]And therein
[00:01:06.534]lies the opportunity
[00:01:08.200]to unite agriculture
[00:01:09.805]and medicine.
[00:01:10.780](applause)
[00:01:12.092]Man] Please join me in welcoming Jeff Raikes.
[00:01:13.685](applause)
[00:01:21.427]They are creating an inter-disciplinary
[00:01:25.865]education and research
[00:01:28.404]value chain.
[00:01:29.859]Ag production
[00:01:31.719]leads to
[00:01:32.898]early stage food processing.
[00:01:34.979]Taking advantage of the excellence
[00:01:36.726]that we have in food science.
[00:01:38.433]As well as ag production.
[00:01:40.008]Which leads to microbiome
[00:01:42.780]studies.
[00:01:44.000]Which leads to
[00:01:45.340]health outcomes.
[00:01:46.835]And I've never seen an institution come together
[00:01:49.831]the way the units have here
[00:01:51.842]to make this happen.
[00:01:53.151]And so this is really a memorable day, I think,
[00:01:55.102]for us here in Nebraska.
[00:01:57.296]Indeed, there is no place like Nebraska.
