The 2022 listening opportunity allows stakeholders to provide feedback on the following questions:

• What is your top priority for research, Extension or education for NIFA investment?
• What are the most promising opportunities/solutions for advancement of these food and agricultural priorities?
• What are the greatest challenges that will face food and agriculture in the coming decades?
• What fundamental knowledge gaps exist that limit the ability of research, extension, and education to respond to these challenges?
