Agricultural Research Institute for Deserts (ARID)

University of California (Riverside)

 For almost 50 years, the University of California at Riverside (UCR) has provided research to address the needs of desert agriculture.

 UCR has coalesced its expertise into a new initiative—the Agricultural Research Institute for Deserts (ARID)—to stimulate the economic growth and contribute to the long-term viability of agriculture through basic and applied research in desert environments.

 ARID aims to serve both rural and urban environments, including growers, the agricultural industry, commodity groups, agencies, public policy decision-makers, and the general public.

 The Agricultural Research Institute for Deserts promotes interdisciplinary research, service, and educational programs on sustainable and integrated practices that enhance the long-term viability of desert agriculture.
