Excerpt:
“Dr. Campbell’s selection for this USDA committee is a testament to UF/IFAS’ leadership in innovative and urban agriculture spaces, and her expertise related to food systems and community health make her uniquely qualified for this honor,” said Rob Gilbert, UF/IFAS dean for research and executive director for academic affairs.
The committee’s role is to provide advice on the development of policies and outreach that could benefit urban, indoor and innovative agricultural production practices. The committee also advises on barriers to urban agriculture.
The committee’s area of expertise spans production, processing, distribution and sale of agriculture products within urban and suburban areas, such as community gardens, bee keeping, backyard chicken keeping, farmer’s markets, Community Supported Agriculture, hydroponics and aquaculture. The innovation aspect of the committee includes areas like artificial intelligence and other high-tech endeavors.
“This is It’s a tremendous honor. It is a significant opportunity for the University of Florida, IFAS, Extension, the state of Florida to have a national platform,” Campbell said. “Florida is at the forefront of the urbanization trend that’s happening across the U.S. The challenges we face here serve as a valuable preview for the rest of the country.”
