CAHNRS faculty conduct a breadth and depth of research on food safety, security, and production.
Research Centers
Center of Excellence for Food Safety
We aim to leverage resources from the government, universities, and the food industry to bridge knowledge gaps and reduce technical and regulatory hurdles for food companies, particularly small and medium sized companies.
Center for Nonthermal Food Processing
Our goal is to provide safer, better tasting, more attractive, and more nutritious food that not only has a longer shelf life but is less costly to produce.
Center for Precision and Automated Agricultural Systems
We conduct activities to promote advances in imaging, machine learning, and robotic technology for the development of automated processes in our most labor-intensive agricultural systems like tree fruit and wine grape
Clean Plant Center Northwest
With funding from the USDA and commodity groups, we work closely with fruit tree, grape, and hop industries to propagate, maintain and distribute virus-tested fruit trees, grapevines, and hop plants from our facilities at WSU.
