In our laboratories, internationally known scientists produce cultivars that people are growing, and we have more varieties in the field than any other university in the country. Plus, we provide the basic science that helps plant breeders around the world develop better, more adaptable, advanced plant varieties. We have mapped the genome of wild peanut, domestic peanut, sorghum, sunflower, canola and corn, which provides the tools for plant breeders and geneticists worldwide to help improve food security and sustainability.$76 Billionin output from agriculture contributed to Georgia's $1.07 trillion economy (Ag Snapshots 2020)View Georgia Ag Statistics$144.4 Millionboost to Georgia's economy from agricultural research at the University of Georgia.Agricultural research is foundational in the land-grant university mission – education for everyone, research for scientifically-based decisions and extension outreach to help ensure best practices are being used.
