APS Strategic Goal:
Our science impacts decisions leading to a sustainable future
It's more important now than ever to educate the broader community on the work that scientists do and why it matters. APS aims to advance the science of plant pathology by communicating the impact of our science with key plant health decision-makers, including legislators, regulators, growers, and funders.
When our stakeholders understand the importance of what we do, they can make informed decisions that positively impact our science—and our world.
