NORTHEASTERN REGION

agInnovation Northeast

agInnovation Northeast is a formal coalition of Directors of fourteen state agricultural experiment stations (SAES) and one of five such organizations nationally.  The northeastern SAES are primarily located on the campuses of the region’s thirteen Land-grant Universities with the exception of Connecticut, which houses a stand-alone station in New Haven, and another at the University of Connecticut, Storrs.  All these stations contribute to a nationwide research system dedicated to meeting the global, national, and regional challenges associated with agriculture, food systems, natural resources, and human nutrition by offering the best available science.

PRIORITIES

The Northeast Agenda identifies challenges and opportunity areas for the regional Land-grant programs to ensure a regenerative, livable, and vibrant Northeastern United States. It describes the unique characteristics of the Northeastern United States and shares the vision, mission, and purpose of Northeast regional Land-grant programs, our Extension services, and state agricultural experiment stations.

The Northeast Agenda is the product of directors from two organizations: the Association of Northeast Extension Directors (NEED) and agInnovation Northeast.
