USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture Announces Support for Organic Agricultural Programs


The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) on January 8 announced $3.8 million in available funding to address critical issues related to organic agriculture. Funding is made through NIFA’s Integrated Research, Education, and Extension Competitive Grants – Organic Transitions (ORG) program. 

The ORG program supports the development and implementation of research, extension, and education programs that enhance organic livestock and crop production. Organic agricultural systems provide many ecosystem services, and natural resources stewardship is a key principle in organic farming.
The deadline for applications is March 29, 2018. See the funding opportunity for details.
