Program Goals

The CESTA Research and Extension Scholar program, supported by the USDA Evans?Allen Program, emphasizes collaborative research in all areas of Agricultural and Natural Resources, including Water Quality, Food Science, Animal Science, Agronomy, Forestry, Viticulture, Entomology, and Engineering Technology.
