Digging Deeper for a Better Tomorrow
Research in the College of Agricultural Sciences drives innovation that feeds communities, strengthens economies, and stewards the environment. We are cultivating prosperity by bridging science and society, and delivering solutions that help farmers adapt, improve food systems, and build resilience in the face of global challenges.
Our researchers collaborate across disciplines and work closely with students and stakeholders to navigate the pressing challenges facing agriculture today. Together, these partnerships turn research into real-world solutions that make a lasting impact in Oregon and beyond.
Through dynamic research programs, hands-on training, and outreach events, we translate knowledge into action that benefits agriculture and the people who depend on it.
