OUR WORK
OUR PRIORITIES
COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY IN RESEARCH & EDUCATION
Land-grant institutions are committed to overcoming past
injustice and ensuring equal opportunity, diversity, inclusion. It is our duty to ensure our programs and services do not perpetuate systems of oppression and injustice.
We challenge ourselves to not simply strive to become non-racist but commit to an active anti-racist agenda in all aspects of our work.
ENSURE AMPLE FUNDING
FOR WORLD-CLASS INNOVATION
The Land-grant university system serves the nation by fostering excellence in research innovation while providing avenues to train future global leaders in agriculture and food systems.
Unless the federal government moves quickly to address the growing funding gap for schools of agriculture, the United States risks falling behind on the world stage.
IMPROVED
CLIMATE INTELLIGENCE
& RESILIENCE
Land-grant universities understand the critical impact our changing climate has on our communities. We aim to be at the forefront of global climate research and education.
Our work brings hope and opportunity through partnerships between community, research, and teaching in a way that only land-grant universities can.
