Yuma Center of Excellence for Desert Agriculture

The Yuma Center of Excellence for Desert Agriculture (YCEDA) is an innovative public-private partnership that connects top scientists to the desert agricultural industry. Together we put science to work developing solutions to the challenges of arid-land crop production. Our work focuses on high-priority issues identified by industry stakeholders, including but not limited to increasing production efficiencies through disease and water management, crop yield maximization, food safety, and technology utilization.
