The California Agricultural Experiment Station (AES)
is a world-respected team of basic and applied researchers. They collectively
work on more than 1,100 projects and most also teach courses at the three
University of California campuses affiliated with UC Agriculture and Natural
Resources. AES scientists' research projects contribute to maintaining
an economically viable and environmentally sustainable food, forest, ornamental,
and fiber production system for California. They work to ensure a safe,
dependable, nutritious, diverse, and affordable food supply. The scientists
develop programs to support the preservation and protection of the state's
natural resources. Many AES scientists collaborate with UC
Cooperative Extension specialists and county-based advisors
on their research and education programs.
