Organic Growth Puts America's
Universities to the Test
OFRF Assesses How Universities Will Meet Economic Demand with Future Organic Farmers
One of the most pleasant surprises of the 2012 Organic Land Grant University Assessment roll-out is the immediate response we've had from the University Deans. They have echoed congratulations, wondered why they didn't a better grade, or told us about their organic program improvements for the 2013 assessment. Clearly, they are engaged in the organic growth opportunity.
At the end of the day, it's not really about which university scores the highest grade. More, it's about the opportunity land grant universities have in meeting a rapidly growing demand with a well-trained supply of organic farmers. At OFRF, we expect federally-funded universities to serve the needs of our nation.
If you find this assessment of value, we ask you to please make a $25 donation today. Sharing and reporting on organic education, research and policy in America supports the farmers who deliver the healthiest food to us. Thank you for investing in a brighter organic future.
