• Connect farmers to the university and to other useful sources of information, like grants and organization (CTRC&D, New CT Farmers, etc.)
• Provide students from the College of Engineering and the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources a design experience, working on contemporary and practical needs for your agricultural ventures
• Encourage agriculture focused career paths for students
