NC Agromedicine Institute

The NC Agromedicine Institute exists for one purpose. We protect agriculture’s greatest asset–the people working in the field. We offer evidence-based agricultural safety and health programs, services, and resources. Our work is non-regulatory and non-advocacy. We simply promote and protect the well-being of those who are involved in the NC agriculture sectors of farming, fishing, and forestry. Visit our about us for more info.
