Mission

Scientific discovery is a key element of Auburn University’s land-grant mission of instruction, research, and extension. The AU College of Agriculture’s research program helps fulfill that mission by finding solutions that support and enhance Alabama’s agriculture and related businesses and industries; that promote environmentally and socially responsible development of Alabama’s natural resources; and that improve the health and well-being of our citizens. Our goal is to make discoveries and develop new technologies that enhance the quality of life for citizens of Alabama, the nation, and the world.
