From May 9-27, the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) will be coordinating a major on-line consultation, focusing on the research strategy of the US Government’s new Feed the Future (FTF) Initiative.  This is an important opportunity for our community with its researchers and other stakeholders to consider and provide input to the US government on FTF’s research priorities, and to discuss how best to support and engage with this important new program.  You are invited to participate in this consultation.   

Please circulate this invitation widely.  We are seeking participation and input from a wide cross-section of researchers concerned with agriculture, natural resources, hunger alleviation, and human development, and all others interested in commenting on and engaging with FTF’s research strategy.  The attachment provides additional information.
