Rajiv J. Shah, director of agricultural development for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has been nominated to lead the Obama administration’s agriculture research and education efforts.
If approved by the Senate, Mr. Shah would serve as an under secretary for research, education, and economics, in the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
This would not be the first time Mr. Shah has been involved in government. Before joining the foundation, Mr. Shah was a health-care adviser to former Vice President Al Gore during his 2000 bid for the presidency and was a transition aide on health for Gov. Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania.
