11 departments in the LSU College of Agriculture and at 20 research stations across Louisiana to help producers provide our state and nation with a vast array of food and fiber products.
The need for agricultural research continues to grow. The ever-expanding world population demands that we increase our food and fiber production. At the same time, all of us want cleaner air and water, more forests, a stable coast and other outdoor recreational amenities. So, as scientists, we must continually refine technologies and develop new technologies to satisfy these demands.
The 20 research stations across conduct the research necessary for agricultural enterprises to be profitable in the unique environments of each area is conducted. The research stations and locations are: Aquaculture, Burden and Central, all in Baton Rouge; Calhoun in Calhoun; Coastal Area in Port Sulphur; Dean Lee in Alexandria; Hammond in Hammond; Hill Farm in Homer; Iberia in Jeanerette; Bob R.
