Statewide programs
Programs organized to focus research and extension on solving priority problems in the management of California agriculture, natural resources, and human development.
Agricultural Issues Center - Analyzes issues important to California and western agriculture and conducts applied research.
Integrated Pest Management Program - Develops and promotes the use of integrated and ecologically sound pest management programs in California.
Master Gardener Program - UC-trained volunteers extend research-based information to the public about home horticulture and pest management. The information is provided to the public in classes, via telephone hotlines, at community events and in demonstration gardens.
Office of Pesticide Information and Coordination - Coordinates and reviews ANR activities pertaining to pesticide research, experimentation, and use.
Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program (SAREP) - Integrates three main goals: environmental health, economic profitability, and social and economic equity in agriculture. SAREP is a partner with UC Davis’ Agricultural Sustainability Institute (ASI), the larger hub that links initiatives and education across UC and other partners in the state.
Youth, Families and Communities Program - Encompasses the 4-H Youth Development Program (4-H YDP), Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP), 4-H Center for Youth Development and California Communities Program, as well as other ANR youth, nutrition, family and community programs. The development of policy, program guidance, outreach, educational curriculum and professional development for ANR’s youth, families and communities programs is consolidated under the YFC statewide program.
