Mission
What is the Center for Rural
Development?
The Center for Rural Development was established in the School
of Agriculture at Purdue in 1989. The Department of Agricultural Economics
is administratively responsible for the Center.
The Center for Rural Development was established to: 1) bring University resources together
to assist public and private sectors as they work toward solving
rural development problems; 2) provide a broad range of educational
programs which contribute to the development of Indiana's human
and physical capital; 3) coordinate and support research that improves
our understanding of economic and community development issues,
problems and opportunities; and, 4) provide issue-relevant information
to individuals and groups interested in rural development.
The Center meets its objectives through educational programs, contract
and other research, and information dissemination.
