ARS continually looks for opportunities to partner with private sector businesses, other federal agencies, state and local governments, universities, and its customers. These partnerships are designed to augment research programs, expedite research results to the private sector, exchange information and knowledge, stimulate new business and economic development, enhance U.S. trade, preserve the environment, and improve the quality of life for all Americans.

Kenaf stalks and paper made from kenaf fiber Because of research and partnerships, a waste product is now something of value. Kenaf stalks are used to make paper, and ARS researchers found how to turn waste from the process into fertilizer and feed binder. Cooperative agreements with private firms helped this technology make the leap from laboratory to production.
