   Crops of the Future, a public-private collaborative, expands our knowledge of
   the traits that give rise to characteristics crops need to adapt to a
   changing future.
   The Ecosystem Services Market Research Consortium is conducting the research
   necessary to create a functional ecosystem services market, which pays
   farmers and ranchers for adopting conservation practices.
   The Efficient Fertilizer Consortium is a public-private partnership that
   funds research to advance enhanced efficiency and novel fertilizer products
   and practices that are environmentally beneficial and agronomically
   productive.
   The Greener Cattle Initiative is an industry-oriented research consortium
   that will award approximately $5 million over the next five years to support
   research to mitigate enteric methane emissions from cattle. This audacious
   consortium provides global nutrition while also curbing the escalating
   climate crisis.
   The Hemp Research Consortium fosters a deeper understanding of the
   relationship between genes, physiology and the environment to optimize
   industrial hemp production.
   The Consortium for Innovation in Post-Harvest Loss & Food Waste Reduction is
   a team of global experts that aim to preserve nutrients, improve livelihoods
   and realize an efficient food system.
   The International Consortium for Antimicrobial Stewardship in Agriculture
   (ICASA) advances research on antimicrobial stewardship in animal agriculture.
   This public-private partnership promotes the judicious use of antibiotics and
   improves animal welfare.
   The International Weed Genomics Consortium (IWGC) provides a platform for
   private and public collaboration to develop genomic tools and resources and
   to stimulate global research in weed biology and management.
   The IIC accelerates the development and adoption of novel water and
   energy-efficient irrigation technologies and practices through public-private
   partnerships.
   Precision Indoor Plants (PIP), a public-private partnership, helps food
   producers grow flavorful, nutritious food indoors. The consortium’s audacious
   research increases our ability to produce quality crops that are valuable and
   desired by consumers.

ANGELA RECORDS, PH.D.



Chief Scientific Officer
arecords@foundationfar.org

Dr. Angela Records joined the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR)
as the chief scientific officer in May 2023.

Records has spent more than 20 years pursuing transformational impact, from her
work as a plant pathologist to her role at the U.S. Agency for International
Development (USAID), where she co-founded and led the Bureau for Resilience and
Food Security’s Research Community of Practice.

During her time at USAID, Records led a team that drafted the US Government’s
Global Food Security Research Strategy (2022-2026), the federal roadmap for
supporting food security research initiatives. She further played leading roles
in collaborations across U.S. governmental agencies, including serving as the
executive secretary of the National Science and Technology Council-led
Microbiome Interagency Working Group.

Records has substantial experience planning, operationalizing and managing
international research programs and building partnerships across academic and
research institutes, the private sector, government agencies, non-governmental
organizations, research-for-development donors and other actors toward a shared
agenda. She managed 16 multi-year research programs active in more than 38
countries with more than 90 collaborating institutions.

Throughout her career, Records’ work has focused on leveraging science to solve
the world’s greatest challenges. She has published dozens of manuscripts,
including a book and publications in Science and Nature Microbiology. Her
article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, as highlighted
in the Washington Post, outlines how plant protection must adapt to ensure
sustainable crop cultivation in the face of climate change.

Records holds a Bachelor of Science in biology from Baylor University, a Master
of Science in biological sciences from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and
she earned her Doctorate in plant pathology from Texas A&M University, where she
studied molecular plant-microbe interactions.
