Teaching Excellence
The University of Missouri’s College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (CAFNR) celebrated the grand opening of the new Land of the Osages Research Center on Tuesday, Oct. 29. The center will further research in agroforestry, a sustainability-focused system that combines trees and shrubs with crops — and sometimes livestock — to be managed on the same piece of land as a single ecosystem. Pictured, from left to right: Sarah Lovell, director for the Center for Agroforestry and co-superintendent of the Land of the Osages Research Center; Geoffrey Standing Bear, Principal Chief of the Osage Nation; Norman Akers, Chairman of the Traditional Cultural Advisors Committee; Alexander Cartwright, Chancellor, University of Missouri; Joe Tillman, Speaker of the Osage Nation Congress; Christopher Daubert, vice chancellor and dean of the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources.
