DESCRIPTION :

Mission
Excellence in Agricultural Education¸ Research and Extension for Sustainable Agricultural Development and Livelihood security of farming community.

Vision
Kerala Agricultural University is well poised to meet the challenges ahead that transforms agriculture sector into the engine of growth of Kerala's economy by providing the human resources¸ and skills and technology for the sustainable development of state's agriculture¸ all economic activities put to the production of biomass based land and water including crop production (agriculture) and forestry .
Realisation of this objective renders imperative; on the one hand¸ the fostering the natural strengths and advantages emanating from resource endowments such as abundant rainfall¸ and sun shine and tropical year round biomass production capability as well as the literate and well informed human population; and on the other hand sharpening the competitive edge of Kerala's agriculture through a package of appropriate strategies¸ public policies¸ programmes technology services and investment support.
In the specific context of Kerala's highly heterogeneous resource base and societal values¸ for ensuring livelihood security of the dependent population a paradigm shift in optimisation of the biophysical resource base for agriculture development is called for from the maximisation of production of specific commodities in contrast¸ to the maximisation of income and employment on a sustainable basis.
