Celebrating 70 years of research, education and community impact!
Since 1956, UC ANR’s South Coast Research and Extension Center has been a living laboratory for agricultural research in Orange County. Over seven decades, the center has advanced research in areas ranging from crop production and pest management to irrigation, water use and climate resilience.
Today, UC South Coast Research & Cooperative Extension of Orange County also connects research with the community through programs including UC Master Gardener Program, UC Master Food Preserver program, California 4-H, and California EFNEP, while providing opportunities for students, families and community partners to learn and engage with UC expertise.
Here’s to 70 years of generating knowledge and bringing that knowledge beyond the research plots to communities across Southern California.
