Ways that UC Davis Has Transformed the World - Food

UC Davis is in the middle of celebrating its 100th birthday this academic year. With a charter faculty of 16 regular instructors from UC Berkeley’s College of Agriculture and 12 nonresident instructors, there were 109 men and women who attended the first courses in fall 1908. I wonder how many of them realized they were launching century of contributions to state, national and global agricultural progress and that the Centennial Class would number about 5,000.

This week, a look at a few of the ways that UC Davis (Go Ags!) has transformed the world of food.

TTFN, Fred.

Quote of the week: "To be nobody but myself -- in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting." - e.e. cummings (poet, 1894-1962)
