Governor Tom Wolf today announced grants totaling more than $2 million to seven Pennsylvania organizations for research on issues critical to sustaining and growing the state's agriculture industry. Grant recipients include Delaware Valley University, Pennsylvania State University, Rodale Institute, Team Ag, Inc, Temple University, University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine and Western Pennsylvania Nature Conservancy.
"This investment is one for the future – it's $2 million invested in research to protect the harvests of our farmers, research to guide farmers in sustainable agriculture practices that ensure our natural resources are available tomorrow, and research to ensure that food is always available, accessible and affordable," said Gov. Wolf. "Agriculture, and its successful future, will always be a priority for Pennsylvania."
The grants focus on a broad range of research topics including protecting pollinators, safely controlling spotted lanternfly and other invasive species, developing new animal and plant disease detection and control, and improving soil and water quality and sustainability through regenerative farming.
"Keeping pace with rapid changes in climate and technology and sustaining growth in Pennsylvania's $132.5 billion agriculture industry demands investment in research and development," said Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding. "These investments spur innovations that increase productivity; advance human and animal medicine; and produce cleaner water, healthier soil and a safer food supply."
