Developing Systems-Based Solutions to Large-Scale Challenges
The Texas Coalition for Sustainable Integrated Systems (TeCSIS) advances resource-efficient and resilient food, feed, and fiber production through integrated crop-forage-livestock systems research in the Southern High Plains.
Positioned at the intersection of agronomy, physiology, water management, genetics, and digital agriculture, TeCSIS leverages long-term field experiments, producer networks, transdisciplinary efforts and industry collaboration to address water scarcity, production efficiency, and system resilience under semi-arid conditions. Working closely with producers, commodity boards, state and federal agencies, and industry partners, TeCSIS translates research innovations into actionable management strategies across the Texas High Plains and Ogallala Aquifer region.
It is our mission to integrate crop, forage, and livestock systems with advanced water management, digital tools, and complementary research in stress physiology, breeding, and genomics to support profitable and sustainable agriculture in the water-limited environments of the Southern High Plains.
