Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences

Recognized as a National Leader in Agricultural Education

Every day in the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences, we're investing in the future by focusing on student success. Featuring 10 departments across many disciplines, we bring learning into the field, the farm and the forest to meet the diverse agricultural and environmental needs of California and our global society.  

We’re committed to providing students with opportunities that prepare them not only for career success, but for leadership in their fields and communities. Through hands-on Learn by Doing experiences – whether in the classroom or rodeo arena – students develop the initiative, teamwork, and decision-making skills that define strong leaders. Your support ensures students continue to benefit from these transformative opportunities.
