We are the Norman Borlaug Institute for International Agriculture, the global outreach unit of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Texas A&M University, Texas AgriLife Research, and the Texas AgriLife Extension Service.
The legacy of Dr. Norman Borlaug demands effective partnerships among universities, governments, industries, and nongovernmental organizations. The Borlaug Institute’s programs provide researchers, policymakers and university faculty from developing countries the ability to strengthen sustainable agricultural practices through scientific training and collaborative research opportunities.
The mission of the Borlaug Institute is to prepare and support faculty members, international and domestic firms and communities, and students at Texas A&M System and foreign universities for engagement and leadership in international agriculture in ways that promote service, entrepreneurship, environmental stewardship, and mutual respect among peoples in an increasingly interdependent world.
