Industry Partners Are Key

CAST works with industry partners to test and demonstrate the latest agricultural innovations and methods. 

Become a Partner

Partnerships with industry and other agricultural stakeholders are vital to the development of the Farm of the Future.

CAST’s Partnerships and Collaborations program is open to diverse agricultural technology developers and providers, including start-up companies and well-established providers of technology to the agricultural sector. We encourage stakeholders, such as NGOs, to also join the program.

We offer access to unparalleled infrastructure and knowledge in climate-smart agricultural technologies and best farm management practices. As a partner, there are a variety of ways to engage with our work, including:

  • Conducting product testing at CAST
  • Partnering with CAST for proof-of-concept demonstration of partner innovations
  • Engaging CAST for on-site and virtual training, and for product or service demonstration
  • Sponsoring research projects conducted at CAST by Cornell researchers
  • Jointly sponsoring research between Cornell and partner

Partners can also propose alternative forms of engagement based on their needs and interests.
