College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource SciencesOther

The College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences (CFANS) is an academic and research division of the University of Minnesota Twin Cities in the United States. Its mandate is to advance scientific knowledge, education, and community outreach in sustainable agriculture, environmental stewardship, food systems, and natural resource management. Although established in its present form in 2006 through a merger of multiple colleges and departments, its foundational agricultural and forestry programs date back to the late 19th-century land-grant origins of the university.
