About the Center
The Center for Viticulture and Small Fruit Research at Florida A&M University was established by the Florida legislature in 1978 in accordance with Senate Bill No. 898 identified as the "Florida Viticulture Policy Act" to provide leadership, undertake research, extension and development activities that will contribute to industry growth and development. It is an integral component of the College of Engineering Sciences, Technology and Agriculture.
The mission of the Center for Viticultural Sciences and Small Fruit Research is to conduct research and provide service and support that will help the viticulture industry in Florida to become a viable industry (Florida Viticulture Policy Act, 1978).
