LINCOLN, Neb. — Amidst today’s global challenges — including the escalated need for food and nutrition security under mounting population pressure — the mission of the Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute at the University of Nebraska has never been more vital. The institute’s recent annual report marks a year of critical research, capacity building and global thought leadership, and details significant progress across the Institute’s three core focus areas.
“Throughout its 15-year history, the institute has leveraged world-class University of Nebraska research; state expertise in agricultural and water resource management; and private sector partnerships to make real progress toward a water- and food-secure future for all,” said DWFI Executive Director Peter McCornick. The report also honors the nearly decade-long leadership of McCornick, who will retire from the University of Nebraska at the end of this year.
