Shout-Out

Rutgers President Holloway Stakeholder address, October 24, 2023

Transcript: https://www.rutgers.edu/president/stakeholder-address-2023

“Although I could highlight the research programs of thousands of faculty, I want to raise up one individual in particular, Professor Jim Simon from the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences. Dr. Simon heads up a New Use Agriculture program that collaborates locally and globally to develop sustainable agricultural products that support health and nutrition.

He and his team were asked to help family farmers in New Jersey who were struggling to keep a valuable crop from being ravaged by disease or climate change. They used a combination of traditional plant-breeding and cutting-edge technologies to cultivate a new variety that is both climate-resilient and able to withstand the deadly pathogen downy mildew. Their work was documented in a terrific film called Fields of Devotion, directed by our own Dena Seidel—and the film itself has encouraged farmers and scientists to work more closely together to benefit New Jersey agriculture. This is but one example of how Rutgers serves the state.”
