Agriculture is one of the most dangerous industries in the U.S. Our mission is to advance agricultural safety and health through applied research and Extension activities focused on engineering solutions for injury prevention and the protection of farmers. We address critical issues in agricultural incidents by collaborating with researchers across the U.S. and with global partners from several countries. With funding from state and federal agencies and partnerships with multiple research centers, our work emphasizes practical innovations that enhance safety and well-being for those in the agricultural sector.
