Highlight
Sustainability, Conservation and the Environment
Without a healthy environment — both physical and financial -- there is no agricultural industry. UGA Experiment Station researchers study natural resource management, conservation methods and cultural practices as well as financial accounting, value added products and sustaining the industry through profitability.

Agricultural research is foundational in the land-grant university mission – education for everyone, research for scientifically-based decisions and extension outreach to help ensure best practices are being used. (Statistics CAES Impact Statements)
Our statewide research impact
The Research and Education Centers (RECs) play a central role in this mission by providing faculty and students with the opportunity to conduct experiments across a wide range of environments and production systems. CAES has eight off-campus REC facilities located throughout the state.
This research network is vital to Georgia agriculture and collectively allows faculty and students to address local production concerns as well as to answer more fundamental research questions and further the development of new technologies related to agriculture and natural resources.

UGArden marks 15 years of growing food and community with gala
Fifteen years ago, what is now a thriving, 10-acre teaching farm began as little more than a beat-up cattle run. Today, UGArden is not only a model of sustainable agriculture at the University of Georgia: It’s also a cherished community garden built by and for students, where they can learn to grow food organically, connect with the land and serve the broader Athens community.

New compound may help the brain heal itself after injury
Researchers from the University of Georgia found a new drug that may boost the brain’s ability to heal itself after injury. The discovery could lead to significant advances in treating traumatic brain injuries, or TBIs. There are currently no FDA-approved drugs that directly repair or prevent brain damage following TBI, a major gap in treatment. The compound, called CMX-2043, may help fill that void by increasing the enzymes that play a crucial role in mopping up harmful molecules after injury.

UGA Libraries’ open access publishing opportunities expand to 7,000+ titles
University of Georgia faculty and graduate students have more than double the opportunities for open access publishing, thanks to new UGA Libraries read and publish agreements with Elsevier and Springer Nature, two of the largest academic journal publishers. The transformative agreements cover article processing charges with nearly 4,000 hybrid journals across the Elsevier and Springer Nature portfolios, adding to previous UGA Libraries agreements in place with Wiley and other publishers. This expands the list of open access publishing opportunities at UGA to more than 7,000 titles.
