“From ffa to beginning farmer loans, there are a plethora of resources available to students interested in agribusiness and to agribusinesses interested in innovation. One of greenseam futures goals is to avoid duplicating resources already available to area students, ag innovators and entrepreneurs, but also to help these individuals actually find the resources that are the best fit for their needs. The greenseam gateway will leverage greenseam futures extensive knowledge of government and non-profit programs and resources, as well as its connections with the agribusiness community, to help match individuals and small businesses with the best resources for their growth. Greenseam futures plans to implement its work-based learning support program and the greenseam gateway in its first year of operations. At the same time, greenseam futures will be working closely with its educational institution partners to define the first public-benefit research project, identify faculty and students to conduct the research, and to devise a framework for classroom-business partnerships. The organizations goal is to be ready to begin research projects from both categories in greenseam futures second year of operations.”
