Global Sustainability at Purdue
Since the creation of Discovery Park in 2001, it has attracted more than $110 million in sponsored research, and now involves about 1,000 faculty, staff, and graduate students. The park has been critical in forming eight start-up companies and at least 40 patent filings. Discovery Park continues to grow today, and its facilities are a hub of graduate student research.
In addition to exciting interdisciplinary research, Purdue's colleges continue to excel in discovery, learning, and engagement.
In the College of Agriculture, researchers at Purdue Agricultural Centers help identify and solve production problems, take risks that eventually will benefit farmers, and explain the results of sophisticated research. The Center for Food Animal Well Being and the USDA-affiliated Livestock Behavior Research Unit engage researchers in current issues on animal welfare. Issues in international agriculture are also being addressed.
