Description:
Agriculture plays a vital role in sustaining food security and supporting rural communities' economy. Recently, an emerging group of contaminants, micro-nano-plastics (MNPs), have attracted significant attention due to their potentially negative impact on human health and food safety. To address this challenge, Texas A&M University- Kingsville, Texas A&M University, and Northwestern University developed a program to train students with specialized technical competency, and leadership, professional, and social skills.
