- Bilingual education strengthens agricultural industry workforce Plant pathologist Luisa Santamaria teaches plant disease prevention to agricultural workers. Since 2011, Santamaria has reached about 500 Spanish-speaking workers from 25 nurseries through a grant awarded by the USDA and NIFA, helping to keep Oregon’s $745m nursery industry healthy.
- Master Gardeners extend sustainable programs statewide The OSU Extension Master Gardener Program, taught by AgSci faculty, offers 10-week courses on natural resources and horticulture in 28 counties and online. AgSci faculty continue to support 3,800 Master Gardeners statewide as they provide public instruction in sustainable landscapes.
- Summer Ag Institute educates the educators SAI provides hands-on pedagogical experience in agriculture and natural resources to Oregon educators. Each year, two programs (in eastern and western Oregon) offer site-based science instruction and graduate credit to about 30 teachers, who in turn engage hundreds of school children with new ideas for science learning.
