Center goals and objectives

Address issues by convergence, approaching challenges that cross disciplinary boundaries, forming teams of basic and applied physical, life, and social scientists and engineers in partnership with stakeholders, policy and regulatory agencies, and others, and creating strategies and technological solutions to inform decisions.

CAIA will create a dynamic, interdisciplinary faculty consortium, drawing upon the abundance of expertise in the agricultural system, including plant, animal, food, nutrition, environmental, and social sciences.
