Research that Feeds the World

The challenges facing agriculture do not stop at state or national borders.

Kansas State University researchers lead and contribute to global collaborations addressing complex challenges in food, agriculture and natural resources — from crop productivity and emerging technologies to food security, animal and plant health, water and biosecurity.

Working with researchers, universities, governments, industry and agricultural communities around the world expands what is possible. These partnerships bring together different expertise, environments and perspectives to generate new knowledge and develop solutions with global relevance.

And the exchange works both ways. What K-State learns through global collaboration strengthens our work in Kansas, while research and innovation rooted here contribute to the future of agriculture around the world.

Global research in action

K-State researchers work with partners around the world on some of agriculture’s most important questions.

Building connections that last

Global research begins with relationships.

K-State helps connect faculty with international researchers, universities, public agencies, agricultural organizations and industry partners around common interests and complementary expertise.

These partnerships bring together different expertise, environments and perspectives to answer questions that no single institution or location can address alone.

Global experiences for students

Agriculture is a global industry, and understanding different agricultural systems, cultures and communities can broaden how students see their own work.

College of Agriculture students can pursue international experiences that complement their academic programs and prepare them to work and lead in an interconnected agricultural economy.
