Agriculture and Food Science at UC Davis Extension
Agriculture and food science programs are a particular strength of UC Davis. For more than 40 years, UC Davis Extension has been connecting working professionals to the world-renowned teaching and research resources of UC Davis.
Our agriculture and food science programs are taught by UC Davis faculty and leading industry experts, bringing to each course the latest practical applications, research and cutting edge information.
With the extensive reach of agricultural curricula and research at UC Davis, it's no wonder UC Davis Extension offers a far greater breadth and depth of agricultural programs than any other continuing education provider in the state.

Our food science programs serve the continuing education needs of food industry professionals throughout California and the U.S. Offered in conjunction with the Department of Food Science and Technology, UC Davis—one of the premier educational departments in this field in the country—these programs focus on teaching the latest practical applications and providing information on cutting-edge research in the food science field.
