Revolutionary Research for a Growing World
关于我们
ARS enjoys deep-historic roots as the principal in-house research agency of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). Federally-supported agricultural research dates back to the 1862 Organic Act, which established what is now the USDA. The Organic Act charged the then-Commissioner of Agriculture “To acquire and preserve… all information he can obtain by means of books and correspondences, and by practical and scientific experiments…” ARS was founded in 1963 with the vision of leading America towards a better future by fulfilling this charge through agricultural research and information. ARS employs 2000 scientists and post-docs at over 90 locations across the country. Collectively, our scientists are engaged in almost 700 cutting-edge research projects at any given moment. Projects range from how to reduce nitrate runoff on Midwest farms, to best practices for Honey Bee management. The information, technology, and improved techniques originating in the ARS scientific community have profound and wide-ranging impacts on all consumers domestic and abroad.

Sweet corn is an important contributor of carbohydrates from the typical diet for Americans. ARS research at the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research finds that freezing and canning led to decreases in total sugars, and canned samples contained even lower total sugars than frozen samples. However, the extent of the decrease appeared cultivar-dependent. https://loom.ly/vtHNR1U #ARSHumanNutrition
