Sustainably intensifying agriculture to feed a growing world is a goal that nations worldwide share.

For the sixth consecutive summer, undergraduate students from Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University (NWAFU) in Yangling, China conducted research under the mentorship of over 90 University of Nebraska-Lincoln faculty. One element of a long term, multi-pronged relationship with the Chinese university, the exchange, or "REU program," has been a successful one, meaningfully engaging over 115 students from the university in the course of the program's tenure and often attracting them to join graduate programs at UNL.
