Agriculture touches every part of our lives, from the food we eat to the clothes we wear. On National Ag Day, we’re reflecting on the hard work and dedication of those who help make it possible.

This year’s national theme, “Agriculture: Together We Grow,” reflects Texas A&M AgriLife’s collective commitment to collaboration. Guided by our land-grant heritage, we invest in the present and future of agriculture — supporting people, strengthening programs and fostering innovation. By working together across the agricultural and life sciences agencies and disciplines within The Texas A&M University System, we are building a more resilient, productive and sustainable agricultural landscape for Texas and beyond.
