Because organic agriculture is knowledge-intensive, education and outreach activities are essential to meet organic grower needs. The Organic Ecology program seeks to increase opportunities for producers to access the latest research-based recommendations; for researchers to explore current projects and trials; and for consumers to understand the benefits of organic products.
