Description
The
OREI seeks to solve critical organic agriculture issues, priorities, or
problems through the integration of research, education, 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, education and outreach that assist farmers and ranchers with whole
farm planning by delivering practical research-based information. 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. Refer to the
USDA National Organic Program (http://www.ams.usda.gov/nop) for organic production
standards.
