University of Idaho Center of Agriculture, Food and Environment

Playing a pivotal role in revolutionizing the dairy industry

The Nelson-Jameson Foundation made a substantial contribution to the University of Idaho's Center of Agriculture, Food, and Environment (CAFE), a project that has been twenty years in the making. Fueled by steadfast commitment and unwavering visions, the Idaho CAFE will be the largest and most advanced research dairy in the United States.

Taking root in Idaho's Magic Valley, the project, spanning over two decades, will boast a 2,000-cow high-tech epicenter and 1,000 sprawling acres dedicated to crop research. Idaho CAFE is taking steps forward to meticulously study sustainable solutions for agriculture, focusing on optimizing the dairy industry. The project promises to deliver advancements in dairy viability, cutting-edge processing techniques, improved livestock health, sustainable crop protection methods, and groundbreaking solutions for environmental stewardship.

The Nelson-Jameson Foundation takes immense pride in championing this comprehensive initiative.
