Organic Farming - grant possibilities
by Brenna Spurgeon
The Organic Farming Research Foundation is a valuable resource for anyone interested in supporting organic agriculture, as well as the farmers themselves. OFRF funds grants for science-based research on how to improve and support organic farming, conducts its own research, and strives to ensure all policy-makers are well-informed about organic issues. It also seeks to disseminate its findings to the general public through networking, media, and education.
OFRF considers grant proposals for Education and Outreach twice a year.
“OFRF will fund the development of educational opportunities and materials that are:
-
Pertinent to organic agricultural production or marketing; and
- Aimed at organic producers and/or those considering making the transition to organic certification.”
The grant program is open to residents of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
