Named in honor of Dr. Danforth’s father, Donald Danforth, the Center is a fitting tribute to this onetime leader of the Ralston Purina Company. The company, which grew rapidly under his leadership, was a pillar of American agriculture, a major producer of feed for farm animals and pets, and of breakfast cereals.
The Danforth Center carries on a tradition of agricultural service and commitment to human health and well being and continues to play a key role in developing Missouri's thriving plant and life science hub, creating new jobs, and generating and attracting new companies.
