Mission

A cooperative partnership between the University of Delaware College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, CANR Ag College Council, Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners and the Food Bank of Delaware.

Providing safe and nutritious food for Delaware families in need is a greater challenge today than ever before.

A core mission of the UD College of Agriculture and Natural Resources is feeding the world in a sustainable manner.

The CANR is fortunate to manage UD’s 350 acre agro-ecology teaching complex. In 2009, we have dedicated part of this land to a “Garden for the Community.”
