CTAHR research
The mission of the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources is to support tropical agricultural systems that foster viable communities, a diversified economy, and a healthy environment.
In response to these goals, the college supports a wide range of research activities including biotechnology, conventional farming, organic farming, and integrated pest management. We are here to help all of our clients and we encourage the coexistence of all forms of agriculture. For examples of research in these areas, you can visit:
