Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding announced $2.232 million in funding for research proposals on issues critical to sustaining and growing Pennsylvania’s $132.5 billion agriculture industry. Funded projects will address complex challenges ranging from reducing impacts of climate change and measuring soil and water conservation, to tackling emerging animal care issues, and developing plant-based solutions to reduce threats to human health.
“Investing in research is the first critical step toward solving today’s most costly and complex challenges, and developing innovative solutions to tomorrow’s challenges,” Secretary Redding said. “Pennsylvania-based research institutions are on the cutting edge of exciting developments in organic and regenerative agriculture, and in imagining the technology we need to continue to be a national and world agriculture leader.”
