Another Top Agricultural School Joins CAST Education Program

Agriculture and food production benefit immensely from the programs, research, and career opportunities provided at quality schools throughout the country. 

With the recent addition of North Carolina A&T, the CAST Education Program now has 18 respected universities as members. Faculty members and students receive credible ag/science information and publications--but the relationship is also a chance for these schools to communicate with various participants in the world of agriculture.

The newest member, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, began as a land-grant school in 1890, and it includes an award-winning faculty, intensive research programs, and community-focused initiatives. 

The university's College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences has a rich history of innovation and application of cutting-edge technology. An example of the university's community involvement is the Small Farms Task Force, a new program designed to help limited-resource and minority small farmers. 

As this video demonstrates, the NC A&T Aggies are involved with a wide variety of science and agricultural pursuits. The CAST community looks forward to working with this exciting educational institution.
