These summaries of program impact appear in the Land Grant Impacts Database, a national system that documents and demonstrates the collective impacts of the LGU (Land Grant University) system of teaching, research and extension institutions. 

This information is also utilized by USDA-NIFA (United States Department of Agriculture - National Institute of Food and Agriculture), LGU’s, ECOP (Extension Committee on Policy), ESCOP (Experiment Station Committee on Organization and Policy) and other private/public entities to document the meaningful work of the research and extension enterprise within the LGU system.
