Science that protects plants, people, and the environment
The mission of The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES) is to develop, advance, and disseminate scientific knowledge, improve agricultural productivity and environmental quality, protect plants, and enhance human health and well-being through research for the benefit of Connecticut residents and the nation. Seeking solutions across a variety of disciplines for the benefit of urban, suburban, and rural communities, Station scientists remain committed to "Putting Science to Work for Society", a motto as relevant today as it was at our founding in 1875.
CAES is governed by an eight-member Board of Control under Connecticut General Statute (C.G.S.) § 19a-754b. The Board helps guide the agency’s mission, leadership, and public service efforts.
