The Texas A&M AgriLife Strategic Plan outlines a path to drive innovation and science-based solutions to enrich all of Texas through agriculture and life sciences. The Strategic Plan was premiered as part of the State of AgriLife address January 14, 2021.
Mission: Enrich Texas with comprehensive agricultural and life sciences knowledge and services to restore connections among people, agriculture, food, science, and the economy.
Vision: Lead by providing influential, innovative, and science-based solutions that position Texas as a national model in connecting agriculture and healthy lives.
“One of my biggest takeaways from being part of the strategic planning process is that there’s not an end to this. Strategic planning is complex and intricate. It’s ongoing and continues to adapt as the landscape, our people and their needs change.”

Working group: Communicating the Strategic Plan
“If we have a plan, and we know how we’re interlinked with one another, I think we can make huge advances in agriculture that this world, that this nation desperately needs.”

Working group: Leadership and professional development
“I look forward to the changes that the strategic plan can bring to AgriLife to allow more communication and resources to be shared between the AgriLife agencies. I think that will help all of us feel more part of a family than we already do, and allow us to achieve our goals.”
