Cornell \Waste Management Institute
 
The Cornell Waste Management Institute (CWMI) is a program in the Soil and Crop Sciences Section, School of Integrative Plant Science in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University. CWMI serves the public through research, outreach, training, and technical assistance, with a focus on organic residuals.
 
  The principles on which CWMI rests are:
  • identifying critical needs through working with stakeholders;
  • building on the strengths of Cornell--its faculty and staff;
  • teamwork and collaboration including on and off-campus colleagues and stakeholders;
  • a focus on multidisciplinary work; and
  • integration of research and outreach.
