CALS Global recently released its 2024 call for proposals for the Global Research & Outreach (GRO) Award. Per the CALS Global website, the GRO Award seeks to “advance sustainable agriculture and the life sciences through a focus on food systems decarbonization, water sustainability, novel agronomic systems, feeding the world through plant biology, promoting healthy aging through gut microbiomes & nutrition, and preventing vector-borne diseases.” An article about how MSABD contributes to more conventional environmental sustainability appeared in the last issue of MSABD Quarterly (Page 16). Nonetheless, sustainability has many contexts and is defined in many different ways, and with the GRO Award criteria, MSABD’s work in biologics and the gut microbiome and in food safety is seen to also contribute to sustainability. Such connections show the highly interdisciplinary nature of MSABD’s research and how the program provides solutions to problems not only for Wisconsin, but also for the global community.
