The College of Agriculture is involved with other colleges at CSU, Chico on collaborative projects. These collaborative efforts help bring faculty together to work on projects that cross discipline lines.
The Bidwell Environmental Institutehas been organized by the Colleges of Agriculture, Behavioral and Social Sciences, Engineering Computer Science and Technology, and Natural Sciences to serve the following three purposes:
To provide an opportunity for faculty with interest in applied environmental research to come together to better coordinate their efforts.
To help ensure the preserves held by the University are used in a manner that has maximum benefit to the instructional program.
To coordinate efforts to enhance environmental literacy.
The College of Agriculture is also involved with other agriculture programs across the California State University System.
The most significant collaborative project is the CSU Agricultural Research Initiative (ARI). This initiative provides for funding to carry out applied agricultural research that have either state wide or regional significance. Unique to this program is the requirement that there be matching funds from the industry, foundations or agencies before a project can be approved.
A relative new collaborative effort is the CSU Consortium for International Development (CID). CID brings together Chico State, Cal Poly Pomona, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Fresno State, and Humboldt State to provide mechanism that allow faculty from these campus to work together on international agricultural development projects. Combining the expertise of faculty from these five campuses makes for a highly qualified team of researchers who are able to address important issues facing developing countries.
