The Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Peanut has won the Corteva Agriscience Award for Excellence in Research, an honor that recognizes an individual or team for career performance or for outstanding research of significant benefit to the peanut industry.
The award is given each year at the American Peanut Research and Education Society meeting, which was held this past week in Savannah. The Peanut Innovation Lab, which is headquartered in the University of Georgia’s College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, conducts research around the world but had made a substantial contribution to American peanut research by connecting U.S. and overseas scientists, leveraging knowledge and technology to solve problems and assisting promising graduate students around the globe in their educations.
