🌍️ Imagine a world where groundbreaking soil research stalls, crop innovation stagnates, and farmers lack access to cutting-edge tools to combat climate change.
‼️ This isn’t hypothetical—it’s the risk we face if lawmakers undervalue ag science.
As members of the American Society of Agronomy (ASA), Crop Science Society of America (CSSA), and Soil Science Society of America (SSSA), we’re not just researchers, educators, or certified professionals—we’re the bridge between science and survival.
Why Advocacy Matters Now More Than Ever
1. Research funding fuels solutions: From drought-resistant crops to carbon-capturing soil practices, federal dollars drive the innovations that sustain our food systems.
2. Certified professionals = trusted voices: Policymakers need your expertise to craft laws that protect working lands and communities.
3. The stakes are rising: Climate chaos, soil degradation, and water scarcity demand urgent, science-backed action.
