Research, Economic & Community Development

The College of Agriculture, Food Science, and Sustainable Systems (CAFSSS) conducts research in the areas of agriculture production that addresses the need for food security and food safety; as well as its correlations to the environment while incorporating external climate variability and technological changes.

Cutting-edge Research

The Division of Aquaculture, KSU's program of distinction, continue to conduct relevant research needed by the communities, including: aquaponics – a food production system that combines conventional aquaculture with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) and using alternative production system such as reclaimed waste water facilities (RWF) as potential hatchery and production sites.

Other advance research include but not limited to developing pesticides using natural products; creating a devise detect parasites in bee colonies; the study of organic production in a high-tunnel system to extend production days.

Engaging Extension – building stronger communities

Through CAFSSS Land Grant Programs, approximately 100 citizens participated monthly to learn about new practices or approach to improve their farm income level or family well-being through “The Third Thursday Thing”. This program covers a wide variety of topics ranging from organic agriculture, paw-paw production, aquaculture, food nutrition, family well-being, and other related subject matters. This community engagement effort was selected as a recipient of the 2013 U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary’s Honor Award in the category of enhancing the economic vitality and quality of life in rural America - awarded by the USDA Secretary Thomas Vilsack.

Another project, “Enhancing agricultural opportunities for small scale farmers” has supported 60 individuals from about 60 counties, consisting 25 identified Appalachian Regional Commission counties.

RESEARCH, ECONOMIC, & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Kentucky State University

• The Office of Regional Stewardship hosts over 800 middle and high school students each year for an event called Operation Preparation that is designed to assist high school students with college and workforce preparation and training through one on one advising.
• KSU operates a national afterschool program sponsored by the U.S. Office of Public Health and Science/ Office of Minority Health, the Youth Empowerment Project (YEP). The goal of YEP is to provide African American and Hispanic youth in grades three through twelve with afterschool intervention and opportunities to promote and enhance academic, career and healthy lifestyle choices. African American and Hispanic youth targeted for this project are those youth who are at-risk of being involved in committing or being the target of perpetrators of violent, abusive, or other unhealthy behaviors.
