Multistate Regional Research Project (NE1)
The Northeast Regional Center for Rural Development conducts original research with its partners and connects faculty and Extension educators in the region with one another and to national collaborators and resources, thereby creating synergies and reducing duplication of effort. The five goals of this multi-state Hatch project are approved by the NERCRD’s Board of Directors’ and are to:
- Build regional capacity and facilitate the integration of research and outreach.
- Support rural economic development and entrepreneurship, and innovation.
- Facilitate tourism development, including agritourism.
- Address climate change and carbon levels.
- Measure and promote food and nutrition security.
