A partnership between the University of Memphis and Ducks Unlimited has created a new course at the UofM that gives students the opportunity to earn an Ecology Conservation and Management Certification while also gaining course credits toward graduation.

The Institute for Agricultural and Conservation Research and Education (ACRE) awarded grants to five UofM faculty members.

The University of Memphis’s newly established Institute for Agricultural and Conservation Research and Education (ACRE) kicked off its inaugural symposium Thursday, Sept. 19, 2024, planting the seeds of innovation and collaboration with an eager audience invested in agriculture and conservation.

Faculty from the Fogelman College of Business & Economics and the College of Arts & Sciences were funded to pursue work related to: “Developing Biodiversity Credit Platform to manage supply chain for ag-based biodiversity credits: a market-based incentive structure to encourage farmer adoption of conservation practices that restore biodiversity, soil health, and ecosystem resilience.”

ACRE will collaborate with Alcorn State University, Rust College, University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff and Jackson State University. The project includes the 44 counties of the Mid-South Mississippi Delta and will include community engagement with target audiences in the project service area, including surveys, focus groups, and personal interviews with 1,500 students (K-16), 150 teachers, 100 farmers, and 500 consumers, as well as 50 companies in grocery, food processing, and other food and agribusiness sectors.
