Our Story

The Association of Agricultural Scientists of Indian Origin (AASIO) was formed during the 1980 ASA CSSA SSSA Annual Meetings held in Detroit, MI and was originally named the American Association of Asian Agricultural Scientists. Later, the name of the Association was changed to the Association of Agricultural Scientists of Indian Origin (AASIO). Today, the Association has matured into a dynamic body with membership from all continents where agriculture is practiced. Through its dedicated and diligent work, the Association has gained recognition by ASA-CSSA-SSSA and its annual meeting is included in the program of the Tri-Society annual meetings.
