The vision of the CAES is to be a premiere learner-centered community that develops and preserves intellectual capital in the food, agricultural, family, and environmental sciences through interdisciplinary learning, discovery, and engagement.

The mission of the college is to provide opportunities for individuals from diverse backgrounds to achieve excellence in the food, agricultural, family and environmental sciences through exemplary and integrative instruction, and through scholarly, creative and effective research and extension programs.

Programs in CAES are the tenets upon which this land-grant institution was founded, and the college currently leads the university in research funding. The college's focus on research makes its research faculty the ideal group to help A&T move to the next level in research productivity as the university embarks on the transition from R2 to R1 research classification.

To achieve this, the college needs to continue to improve its physical facilities through repair, renovation, and acquisition of equipment and instrumentation. It is essential that CAES offer students, teaching faculty, and research faculty and their staff the best tools and environment for productivity, learning, and creativity. Faculty in all departments and the farm often need to modernize equipment and scientific instruments to keep up with fast-changing technologies.

The 2023 facilities grant will provide funds to update and improve technology needed for research, teaching, and extension. Along with advancing the college research capacity, improved facilities and state-of-the-art equipment will strengthen the university's quest for preeminence, advance the tripartite mission, and elevate the CAES and the university to a higher level of research productivity as it transitions to R1 research classification.

Improved facilities will also enable faculty and graduate students to conduct cutting-edge research that addresses some of the world's most complex food, agricultural, and environmental issues.
