Array of field equipment at CLEREL
On August 21, 2024 the LERGP and CLEREL staff were involved with a tour to collaborate and learn from NASA. NASA leadership joined us in Geneva and then at the Cornell Lake Erie Research and Extension Laboratory for the ‘Space for Ag Tour’ to have conversations with growers, stakeholders, and researchers about their needs and challenges.
The goal of this visit was to have two-way dialogue with end users, stakeholders, and researchers to improve NASA Earth Science’s research portfolio in specialty crop agriculture and viticulture while fostering a broader conversation about effective research translation into practice.
We continue to foster this relationship and work towards collaborating to improve data for our grower stakeholders. This visit and listening tour was supported by Cornell AgriTech and the Cornell Institute for Digital Agriculture.
