The Grimmway Farms donation will be used to launch the&nbsp;<em>Center for Organic Production and Research&nbsp;<\/em>on campus, as well as build the&nbsp;<em>Grimmway Farms\/Cal-Organic Soil Health and Sustainability Laboratories<\/em>&nbsp;to provide research and teaching opportunities in topics related to healthy soils, water and air.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur partnership with Grimmway will facilitate bringing increased science and technology to the production of organic food,\u201d said College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences Dean Andrew Thulin. \u201cCal Poly is at the forefront of using the power of collaboration to solve real world problems. This new center will integrate the greatest talents in academia, private industry, government and a wide range of disciplines to benefit the organic industry as a whole.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The need to increase focused efforts on organic research and create pathways for students to enter the industry is clear.&nbsp;The organic industry is one of the fastest growing agricultural segments in the United States, according to the&nbsp;U.S. Department of Agriculture\u2019s National Institute of Food and Agriculture. This emphasis on organic production and&nbsp;research is of particular importance in California, which accounts for 40 percent of all organic production in the nation. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is an amazing gift and investment in the future of California agriculture and a perfect match&nbsp;with Cal Poly\u2019s excellence in applied research and Learn by Doing model that prepares students for collaborative problem-solving in their careers,\u201d said California Department of Food and Agriculture Secretary Karen Ross. \u201cI want to thank Grimmway Farms and the Grimm family for their generosity, leadership and confidence in the future of California agriculture \u2013 one that is built on innovation.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nationally, consumer demand&nbsp;for organic products continues to grow \u2013 sales of organic fruits and vegetables in the U.S. reached $18 billion in 2019, up nearly 5 percent from the year prior. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe believe that lives are transformed through education, and that certainly applies to agricultural education,\u201d said Barbara Grimm Marshall, co-owner of Grimmway Farms and Cal-Organic. \u201cEver-evolving technologies and more sophisticated business practices mean that students who wish to pursue a career in agriculture must spend as much time in the classroom as in the field. We are thrilled to be providing an avenue for these students to work with the best minds in agribusiness and soil sciences today.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith this commitment, the families and Grimmway Farms\/Cal-Organic are affirming our belief that agriculture is the economic and cultural cornerstone of our future,\u201d Brandon Grimm, grower relations manager and co-owner of Grimmway Farms and Cal-Organic, shared. \u201cOur company has been a leader in innovative and advanced farming practices since my father and uncle founded the company 51 years ago. Today we take the next step to build on that legacy by investing in vital organic and soil health research.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe future of this industry depends solely on the ability to prepare, educate and excite the next generation of growers in organic production,\u201d said Jeff Huckaby, president of Grimmway Farms and Cal-Organic. \u201cWe look forward to partnering with this dynamic educational institution to cultivate those who will ensure we continue to meet the ever-growing demand for healthy and nutritious organic produce.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cal Poly is uniquely positioned to drive these initiatives forward with its polytechnic educational model and more than 10,000 acres of land for hands-on research and learning. Cal Poly\u2019s location on California\u2019s Central Coast surrounded by a diverse number of specialty crops that are the foundation of the state\u2019s agricultural production, as well as the university\u2019s strong ties with industry, gives students and faculty the opportunity to work directly with companies such as Grimmway Farms and other top producers in the organic industry through internships, research collaborations and more. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur partnership will increase opportunities for students, faculty and staff to gain first-hand experience in the organic food industry and beyond,\u201d said Cal Poly President Jeffrey D. Armstrong. \u201cThis new center for organic production and research emphasizes our Learn by Doing philosophy and will give students the tools to lead impactful careers addressing the agricultural challenges that face California and the world.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new&nbsp;<em>Center for Organic Production and Research<\/em>&nbsp;will serve as a hub for students to work with experts from across the industry to develop solutions to the most pressing issues related to organic production and agriculture. Research of soil structure and biodiversity, nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, water quality, composting and organic matter and technology innovation will be at the forefront of the new&nbsp;<em>Center for&nbsp;Organic Production and Research<\/em>. The new&nbsp;<em>Grimmway Farms\/Cal-Organic Soil Health and Sustainability Laboratories&nbsp;<\/em>will be located&nbsp;in Cal Poly\u2019s planned Plant Sciences Complex.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGrimmway Farms\u2019 generous support of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and its talented students embodies the increasingly vital partnership between the private sector and the California State University,\u201d said CSU Chancellor-select Joseph I. Castro. \u201cI deeply appreciate Grimmway\u2019s partnership with several CSU campuses, including Cal Poly SLO, and their strong commitment to supporting and preparing the next generation of our nation\u2019s agricultural leaders.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A national recruitment for a director&nbsp;to lead the center will begin in 2021. Cal Poly\u2019s model for the new&nbsp;<em>Center for Organic Production and Research<\/em>&nbsp;will emulate its demonstrated success with the Cal Poly Strawberry Center (strawberry.calpoly.edu), a collaborative partnership focused on increasing the sustainability of the strawberry industry through research and education that addresses the needs of the $3.5 billion industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grimmway Farms Donates $5 Million for center to bring industry and academia together to solve challenges and prepare future leaders in organic production and soil health&nbsp; From a Cal Poly News Release Cal Poly is set to change the landscape &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/index.php\/2020\/11\/17\/secretary-ross-joins-those-applauding-center-for-organic-production-and-research-at-cal-poly\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
