Thinking Big: Visualizing the Future of AG2PI
was held September 9-10, 2022, in Ames, IA.
The goal of this two-day think tank-like workshop was to look ahead to where the field of agricultural
genomes-to-phenomes is heading and where it needs to go. Discussions from this conference are being
collated into a concept paper and used to recommend how future funding might be directed by NIFA to
support ag G2P work for the biggest impact. Ideas inspired from this workshop will continue to inform
actions related to improving production, quality and health of crops and livestock that the world's
population and feed into America's workforce.
