Oregon's tree fruit and nut industries bring many benefits to Oregonians, including a variety of healthful foods to consumers and jobs to rural communities. At Oregon State University, we emphasize the integration of biology, ecology, genetics, economics, and technology to create high-value fruit and nut crops to ensure the economic, social, and environmental sustainability of these industries and communities.
