On campus

Join AGNR at the Spring Welcome Back event - Melt Back into the Semester in the Animal Sciences Courtyard.

The IAA offers nine majors to jump-start your career in agribusiness, sustainable agriculture, environmental stewardship, horticulture, landscaping, turfgrass management, or ag communications. We will explore areas of study, financial aid and scholarships, world-class facilities, campus life, and more!

The Global FEWture Alliance advances systems-based interdisciplinary research-to-action, community-driven capacity building, and experiential education to effect positive change in underserved communities at the nexus of food, energy, water, climate, and health. Through our holistic systems-based approach, we alleviate food, energy and water insecurity, protect environmental and global public health, and bolster community resilience in a changing climate.

The Symposium will highlight our Alliance’s accomplishments, to date, in Maryland, Israel, Tanzania, and Nepal. In addition, through the participation of other researchers and professionals focused on food-energy-water nexus issues, the symposium will facilitate the development of new partnerships here at UMD, in the State of Maryland, and beyond.
