Description

The Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources Extension Program is organized by 19 work groups relating to these broader areas of subject matter:

  • Crops and plant products
  • Animals and animal products
  • Economics and policy related to natural resource agricultural and technology issues and opportunities
  • Environmental quality
  • Food processing and value-added products

All of these integrate into economic, social and environmental improvements in various communities or for various industries.
