CSU Produce Network
The Challenge
Some parts of the Colorado produce sector remain underserved by Extension and College of Agricultural Sciences resources as compared to their share of the Colorado economic value chain and public value when viewing staff time dedicated to engaged scholarship. The produce sector is eager for applied research and engaged programming to help meet the needs of current and future challenges.
Our underlying question
How can we better serve the Colorado produce industry through more informed, coordinated, and co-created CSU contributions? How can we share our impacts through improved measurement and reporting of outcomes?
