- Abstract
As a comprehensive nationwide system, the Food and Agricultural Education Information System (FAEIS) provides empirical data and analyses for planning, benchmarking, and coordinating efforts, directed towards supporting higher education in the food, human, agricultural, and natural resource sciences. FAEIS (http:// faeis.usda.gov/) is an accessible resource for data users that includes faculty, higher education administrators, government officials, industry professionals, and the general public to strengthen higher education programs and is sponsored by the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Recently 2008 marked one of the best years for FAEIS reporting with 100% reporting from nearly all of our sponsoring associations: Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU), formally National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC) ; American Association of State Colleges of Agriculture and Renewable Resources (AASCARR); Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC); Board on Human Sciences (BOHS); Council on Administrators of Family and Consumer Sciences (CAFCS); Society of American Foresters (SAF); and National Association of University Forest Resources Programs (NAUFRP). This article seeks to expand awareness of FAEIS, discuss the data collection process, and provide readers with examples of how they can useFAEIS.
