(Albany, NY) Today, the Senate Democratic Majority advanced legislation supporting farmers and the agriculture industry across New York State. The legislation passed by the Senate Democratic Majority broadens the presence and promotion of farmers’ markets and New York farm products, places in statute the New York State Council on Food Policy, makes the Nourish New York Program permanent, and establishes the carbon farming tax credit.
“New York’s family farms and agriculture industry are crucial to the economy and communities across the state,” Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said. “Throughout the pandemic, we have seen how local farms can help New Yorkers who are living in food deserts access healthy foods. These bills will help increase access to locally grown food and assist struggling farms. I thank the bill sponsors for their strong support of New York’s agriculture industry and farmers.”
High school students attend the College of Veterinary Medicine’s precollege studies course prior to the pandemic. New HS scholarship aims to diversify veterinary medicine
March 3, 2021
The College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) has created a new scholarship to encourage students from historically underrepresented groups to explore veterinary medicine, part of its outreach to motivate more diverse high school students to consider attending CVM or entering the profession.
Veterinary medicine continues to be one of the least diverse professions, an issue the college has committed to tackling. Cultivating inclusion and support for students from historically underrepresented communities early in their education – focusing on the pipeline of potential students that apply to veterinary college – is considered key to diversifying the field.
