AURI recently announced its research initiatives for 2013. The 16 projects in our core four focus areas--renewable energy, biobased products, coproducts and food--will create new and improved products and processes in Minnesota's agriculture industry.
"All of these research projects aim to create economic growth and jobs for the state by bringing new products and improved processes to market," says AURI Executive Director Teresa Spaeth.
AURI will partner with commodity groups, economic development organizations, foundations and others across the state to ensure that the information available through these research initiatives is put in the hands of the businesses, entrepreneurs and producers who can bring these ideas to commercialization.
