MSU AgBioResearch funds 3 projects to advance health, food systems and community well-being
Michigan State University’s AgBioResearch division has awarded $300,000 in grants to three interdisciplinary projects through its new Growing Healthy Together Initiative. The funded research includes repurposing fermented milk extracts into natural blood pressure treatments and creating a circular model that links hospital food waste to urban agriculture in Detroit to improve community nutrition.
