The Innovative Agricultural Research Initiative

iAGRI aims to prepare the next generation of agricultural leaders in the public and private sectors to strengthen the core institutions of agricultural research and education in Tanzania. Ohio State University (OSU) is the managing entity for a consortium of six U.S. universities including Michigan State University, Virginia Tech, Tuskegee University, University of Florida and Iowa State University. Key partners in Tanzania include SUA and MALF. The project prepares teachers, researchers, extension practitioners, and students in Tanzania to cooperatively and effectively address the needs of smallholder farmers and the agribusiness sector.
