Agricultural science at the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFAFA) integrates research, education, and extension to ensure that groundbreaking research discoveries go beyond the laboratory and make their way into the classroom and to people who can put the knowledge into practice and improve their lives. Research enables development of the knowledge needed to solve many of the issues facing our nation. Education strengthens schools and universities to train the next generation of scientists, educators, producers, and citizens. Extension brings the knowledge gained through research and education to the people who need it most—in the United States and around the world.
