PURPOSE

The purpose of the Agriculture Innovation Center (AIC) is to help ag producers add value to what they produce. Adding value can include product branding; product quality enhancement; marketing and distribution strategies; on-farm, first-stage product transformation; finding higher-value uses for manure and crop by-products; and more.

Business planning assistance is a key element of all AIC activities.

Researchers and Extension/outreach specialists from Cornell University, SUNY colleges and others around the State provide one-on-one assistance to agricultural producers. This assistance is made possible by grants from the New York Farm Viability Institute.

If you are an agricultural producer with an idea on how to add value to your products, please contact the NY AIC to see if you would be interested in assistance.

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us at nyaic@cornell.edu
