At UC ANR, we are dedicated to helping Californians, and people across the country and globe, meet the pressing challenges of today. Every day, we work to co-create and share science-based solutions that people can put into practice.
As part of our Strategic Vision 2040, we identified seven areas of focus: Agriculture and Food Systems; Natural Ecosystems and Working Landscapes; Thriving People and Communities; Climate Change; Innovation; Regulations, Policy and Compliance; and Systemic Inequities.
In addition to overseeing UC Cooperative Extension offices and programs, we administer 18 statewide programs and institutes that advance crucial research and outreach efforts to address these critical priorities.
