The Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management extension collaborates with the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) extension to deliver on a shared ethos of “putting knowledge to work to serve a public purpose.”
As a land grant institution, Cornell University has a legacy of applying its academic resources towards the greater good of farms, food, the environment, the community and the world. Dyson extension and outreach programs examine production costs, business planning, and labor management at the farm level; executive education for food retailers and cooperative leaders; selling specialty crops in local markets; commodity crops in the global marketplace; and land use and dairy policy.
Programs
Dyson extension and outreach efforts include educational programming, research and policy analysis oriented toward stakeholder issues in agriculture and food systems.
Our tax schools provide education to experienced tax preparers on important aspects of small business and farm tax preparation as well as specialty entity rules.
The annual Outlook conference brings together researchers and economists to discuss the latest advances in agriculture and food industries.
“I offer opportunities to my undergraduate advisees and students to conduct applied research with me and, where suitable, involve them in my Extension programming activities. For graduate students, involvement in Extension activities and engaging with industry, agency, and government stakeholders is an expected part of their graduate program.”
Todd Schmit
Professor and faculty director of the Cooperative Enterprise Program
