CFANS students, faculty and alumni work to find solutions for a changing climate and how it affects agricultural industries in Minnesota and across the globe.
"For generations, agriculture and food systems have been at the heart of Minnesota, fueling our state’s economy and providing nourishment worldwide. Today, we have the distinct opportunity to make Minnesota the global leader in advancing food and agriculture research, education and outreach," said Dean Brian Buhr.
“More and more students and individuals are finding careers in agriculture. The industry needs scientists, biologists, food safety technicians, livestock nutrition specialists, arborists and conservationists – one doesn’t have to be a farmer or have a direct on-farm job to be involved in the agriculture industry,” said Agriculture Council of America (ACA) President Jenny Pickett.
We celebrate and thank the continued efforts and the talented people that make up our agriculture industry here in Minnesota. Read stories of CFANS students, alumni and faculty making a difference in the field of agriculture.
