Our extension faculty help growers, consumers, and other horticultural stakeholders apply research from our own programs (and other programs, as well)  to ensure the success of our horticultural industries.  The Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS) Extension Group has a strong presence throughout the state with extension faculty in every county.

On the national level, several faculty members are involved in eXtension.org, where members of Land Grant institutions exchange information about the latest research to solve challenges. 

Research findings are published in well-respected peer-reviewed journals and recommendations for producers and handlers are published in our online library of educational materials, Electronic Data Information Source (EDIS).
