On March 2, 1887, the U. S. Congress approved the Hatch Act, establishing agricultural experiment stations at land-grant universities across all 50 states.
Today, these Experiment Stations continue to conduct cutting edge-research in issues critical to food & national security.

Federal capacity funding through programs like Hatch, Smith-Lever & McIntire-Stennis is foundational to our work. These investments power Cooperative Extension & research across California, helping communities grow and access safe, affordable, nutritious food. #UCinDC #CARET2026
