College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS)

  • What does it mean to be a college of agriculture in 2018?
  • Rapidly, but unevenly, increasing global population
  • Increasing weather volatility
  • Water shortages in key food-growing regions around the globe
  • Rapidly shifting consumer food preferences
  • Trade barriers/ Tariffs/ Political instability
  • Bill Gates says: “If we are serious about ending extreme hunger and

poverty around the world, we must be serious about transforming agriculture.”

  • Enabling agricultural transformation:
  • Biological Systems
  • Food and Nutrition Security
  • Climate Change
  • Socio-Economic Resilience
  • Media and Communication Technologies
  • Big Data
