Many West Virginia University students and alumni are working in the United States Armed Forces to build security and prosperity in Afghanistan. One of them is doing so from the ground up.
Lt. Col. Carney Jackson, DVM and ‘73 graduate of the WVU Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design, is focusing his efforts on Afghanistan’s agricultural sector. Jackson is an Air National Guard Lieutenant Colonel with the Army National Guard’s Kentucky Agriculture Development Team (ADT).
“The ADT is tasked to implement an agricultural strategy for provinces [including] Bamyan, Kapisa, Panjshir and Parwan,” Dr. Jackson said. “We are to provide direction and focus of agricultural resources. Our effort is to increase agricultural sector jobs and productivity.”
