Description
The OREI seeks to solve critical organic
agriculture issues, priorities, or problems through the integration of research
and extension activities. The purpose of this program is to fund projects that
will enhance the ability of producers and processors who have already adopted
organic standards to grow and market high quality organic agricultural
products. Priority concerns include biological, physical, and social sciences,
including economics. The OREI is particularly interested in projects that
emphasize research and outreach that assist farmers and ranchers with whole
farm planning. Projects should plan to deliver applied production information
to producers. Fieldwork must be done on certified organic land or on land in
transition to organic certification, as appropriate to project goals and
objectives.
