Arkansas is Our Campus
The
"statewide campus" of the Division of Agriculture makes it a unique unit of
the University of Arkansas System. The Division's two parts are the
Arkansas Agricultural
Experiment Station (AAES), which has research as its primary mission,
and the Cooperative Extension
Service (CES), which delivers appropriate technologies and information
to the people of Arkansas.
Division faculty and facilities are located on five university campuses,
at five regional
Research
and Extension Centers, eight
Branch
Stations and other locations. An Extension office is located in each of
the 75
counties in cooperation with county governments.
Division headquarters are on the University of Arkansas System's
administrative campus in Little Rock. AAES headquarters are on the U of A
campus in Fayetteville. CES headquarters are adjacent to the U of A campus
in Little Rock.
The Division's primary mission is helping producers and processors of
food, fiber and, now, bioenergy access and use appropriate technologies.
However, our mission has always been broader due to our unique capabilities
as the "statewide campus" of the University of Arkansas System. We serve
people in all walks of life by helping to ensure the safety and security of
our food and fiber system; improving the health and nutrition of Arkansans;
conserving and sustaining natural resources; and expanding horizons for
youth, families and communities.
