Vision for the Future

Long-range goals for Agricenter are to serve as a hub for agricultural networking and innovation, to showcase food and fiber as a pathway to increased educational and career opportunities, and to have an agricultural research and development park. Agricenter will be a world-class center of agricultural innovation, education, and outreach that works in the nexus of environmental sustainability, water, soil, urban-rural interface, technology, poverty, and entrepreneurship.

Agricenter International is grateful for your support!
