Agriculture and Natural Resources Teams
The Agriculture & Natural Resources program area has six specialist teams comprised of campus and county Extension staff. Focused Teams include Animal Sciences, Diversified Farming and Food Systems, Farm Management, Field Crops, Horticulture, and Natural Resources and Land Use.
The purpose of teams is to provide a forum for Purdue Extension staff to:
- communicate about resources and opportunities
- state-wide program development and implementation
- foster county and campus collaboration opportunities
Agriculture and Natural Resources are managed through a co-chair of a campus specialist and a county educator. An ANR Assistant Program Leader is also affiliated with each focus area to provide support as needed. ANR Team efforts undertake a variety of activities that are driven by committee members.
