"University of Nebraska researchers believe they’re building an
infrastructure that will help revitalize rural parts of their state
that, in many cases, have been shedding residents for half a century or
more," Mitch Smith writes for Inside Higher Ed.
The institute will be “focused on a problem, a problem very important to Nebraska but [that] has implications above and beyond Nebraska,” said Ronnie Green, vice chancellor of the school's Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources. The rural futures institute would encompass many disciplines: “You’re talking about health, nutrition, business development, telecommunications systems,” said Green. A conference on improving rural communities last week in Lincoln drew 475 people from 29 states and several foreign countries.
