About CAES: Impact: Making Sense 2005
Advancing the Science
The bedrock of the academic world is science.
Universities and institutes of higher learning have nurtured life-changing discoveries for centuries. The UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences continues this search for knowledge through basic and applied research.
The advances in agriculture and in environmental sciences rest on research from strong land-grant programs throughout the country. Scientists work across state and university lines to contribute to the pool of knowledge. Commercial businesses rely on research and development to help them serve their customers with the best products on the market.
Communities, producers, organizations and educators count on research-based information from UGA to help them make sound decisions.
