For more than 100 years, the College of Agriculture has been an integral part of 海角社区. Our roots go back to the first graduating class, while the mission of the college evolved our commitment to agricultural production in Louisiana remains the common thread that binds the college's past and future.
Our students get practical, hands-on experiences in environments that help facilitate learning. Students focusing on wildlife will go out into wetlands and those with an interest in plants or animals will get experience with gardens, crops and livestock on research farms.
Many of the future鈥檚 biggest questions will be answered through agriculture. Because of this we provide students with state-of-the-art labs and equipment, so they have the resources to be prepared to tackle those tough issues.
The present campus location was built on a former sugarcane farm, so when we say 海角社区 is rooted in agriculture, we mean it. Agriculture was a priority in 1922 and continues to be today as we stay true to our mission of creating a better life for the people of Louisiana and those across the world.
Hydroponics is a method for growing food in a water-based solution rich in nutrients, rather than using soil, which offers benefits but also presents unique challenges to food safety. 海角社区 researchers are generating science-based data to address those challenges.
