Dean's Message

 


Overview  

This Faculty focuses on four major areas of discovery and learning: 1) enhancing global food systems; 2) building the bio-products industry; 3) healthy human environments; and 4) sustainable land, forest and water management. Our Bachelor of Science graduates join the ranks of professionals who are finding creative ways to solve real-world problems. They take pride in knowing that without they and their colleagues - professional agrologists, professional food scientists, registered dietitians, professional foresters, professional biologists, and professional human ecologists - we would all be naked, thirsty, hungry and homeless. 

Units include:


Facilities   The Agriculture/Forestry Centre on the University of Alberta campus is a top quality teaching and research facility that includes 6,000 square meters of laboratory space and equipment, including greenhouses, plant growth chambers, tissue culture rooms, food processing facilities, a biotechnology centre and a human metabolic unit.

Four off-campus Research Stations house diverse animal populations, including dairy and beef cattle, swine, poultry, wapiti, deer and bison. They provide field crop and plot research facilities, as well as range and water management capability.
