The Institute of Integrative Precision Agriculture (IIPA) was established in 2022 and is Georgia’s brand for digital farming, food, and fiber. Its goal is to foster interdisciplinary research, education, extension, and outreach on next-generation technologies in agriculture, food, and forestry – both within the university and with external partners.
IIPA is a trusted partner for growers, industry, state, and federal agencies, and a magnet for young scientists who want to work with the best and brightest in integrative precision agriculture. It consists of 70+ member faculty and 80+ graduate students from seven University of Georgia schools and colleges.
