Land grant colleges of agriculture and forestry and other institutions of higher learning were invited to compete for inclusion by submitting proposals which
would exhibit the theme of clean and efficient sustainable energy and energy conservation and efficiency based on their programs and expertise.
Proposals were centered around the colleges' visions of U.S. agriculture and/or forestry's contribution to the energy economy in 2017, the roles they
intend to create for themselves in that environment, and how those roles will attain the following:
* Increasing production of renewable energy and alternative fuels,
* Delivering that energy to consumers,
* Meeting consumer demand, and
* Enhancing sustainability, conservation, and energy efficiency.
Alfred State College, which will highlight workforce development in renewable energy through organic agriculture and hydroponics with LED lights, and
biodiesel reactor, photovoltaic, and wind energy, is in good company. Other exhibitors include Auburn University, Cornell University, Florida Agricultural
and Mechanical University, Kansas State University, Lincoln University, Louisiana State University Agriculture Center, Mississippi State University, North
Carolina State University, Oklahoma State University, Penn State University, Sun Grant Initiative, Texas A&M University/Texas Agrilite Research, University
of Arkansas, University of Florida/IFAS, University of Georgia, University of Hawaii College of Tropical Agriculture, University of Illinois, University of Maine,
University of Maryland, University of Nevada (Reno), University of Tennessee, University of Tennessee Extension, Washington State University, Iowa State
University, SUNY Cobleskill, and Ohio State University.
