How does a plant decide when to flower? New research from @MSU_PRI uncovered the molecular mechanism that allows plants to delay flowering when nutrients are low, a survival strategy that could inspire new ways to breed crops.

Global partnerships aren’t just aid—they’re a strategic advantage for U.S. agriculture. At the #BorlaugDialogue, we explored how international collaboration opens new markets, accelerates innovation, and strengthens our food systems. Stronger together. 🌍🤝🇺🇸

The future of food needs young innovators. At #WFP2025, we co-hosted a roundtable on empowering youth in Indian agriculture with @michiganstateu and @NAASIndia . #YouthInAg #WorldFoodPrize #MSUCANR

[CANR International Programs @CANR_Intl]

The fight against hunger needs a new toolkit. At #WFP2025, we brought more than brochures—we brought a legacy. Our booth was a hub for radical collaborators. This is how we answer Borlaug's call. This is the #MSUCANR legacy in action. #FoodSecurity #GlobalImpact
