                         The Agricultural Development in the American Pacific 
                         project started in 1989 with support from the U.S. Department 
                         of Agriculture. We help bring to bear the knowledge 
                         and experience of the faculty and staff of the five 
                         Pacific Land Grants on problems and opportunities of 
                         mutual interest. We partner with other institutions 
                         in the Pacific and elsewhere to help bring the best 
                         resources available to our efforts. Get to know more
