The Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute conducts and supports research and engages in projects to develop innovative solutions for achieving water and food security at home in Nebraska and around the world.
Through the work of our staff, faculty, students and many partners, we are finding ways to help farmers achieve better yields, use water more effectively, protect our water for human health and adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change.
