Welcome to the Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment

Our threefold land-grant missions – teaching, research and extension – serve the Commonwealth in different ways. We give students the skills to solve problems. We discover and deliver new knowledge and technologies through research and extension. Our goal is to improve the lives of residents across Kentucky. Through our website, explore how the Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment is continuing the outstanding tradition of discovery, outreach, and education at the University of Kentucky. Together, our faculty, students, staff, and alumni of the College “grow ideas” and solve world problems.
