Ardmore, Oklahoma-based Noble Research Institute, an independent nonprofit agricultural research organization, has announced a refocusing of effort to concentrate on regenerative agriculture and ranching.
Regenerative Agriculture is a system of farming and ranching principles and practices that increases biodiversity, enriches soils, improves watersheds, and enhances the utilization of the existing ecosystem.
The transition will impact between 50 and 130 employees who were previously notified of pending layoffs.
“This has nothing to do with COVID. This is all about refocusing the organization on regenerative ranching. For the past two years, we’ve been focusing all of our operations on regenerative ranching. And that impacts our research specifically as we move away from our plant breeding and plant biology programs and focusing more on applied research.”
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
