As part of our mission to help the world grow the food it needs, we’re investing in the future.
With the world’s population expected to exceed 9 billion people by 2050, we are focused on
ways to grow more food on less land. That’s why it’s critical we continue to educate future
generations on the importance of the food and agriculture industries.

One of the ways we’re supporting this is through the 1890 programming at Southern University
Agricultural Research and Extension Center in Louisiana. Southern University is designated as
an 1890 Land-Grant Campus through the United States Department of Agriculture. Funding for
the 1890 programming is used to increase the number of minorities studying agriculture and food
related programs, with Southern committing to providing teaching, extension and research
opportunities to produce skilled agriscience graduates in Louisiana.

Mosaic is proud to be a long-standing partner with Southern University. In November 2023,
Mosaic donated $35,000 to support the activation of 1890 programming initiatives for the 2023-
2024 academic year. This includes providing students with an opportunity to meet with
government and community stakeholders, working professionals and graduate school
representatives during the Agricultural Career Expo (A.C.E), which averages 500 attendees
annually.
