Last year, Lundberg became the first U.S.-grown rice brand to launch Regenerative Organic Certified® rice. Kutztown University was awarded a $1.5 million grant to support its Regenerative Organic Agriculture track within its environmental science program in collaboration with the Rodale Institute. State Representative Mark Rozzi, a 1996 KU graduate, was a pivotal advocate in the university acquiring the grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development. As prices for organic products continue to rise and demand stays strong, farmers have many questions about the costs, benefits and potential profits represented by organic farming methods. The Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research and The Organic Center have announced five awards totaling around $632,000 to advance organic farming. The awards fund much-needed training, technical support and innovative climate research, according to a news release. “Organic farming is complex and nuanced work that requires innovative, collaborative solutions,” LaKisha Odom, FFAR scientific program director, said in the release. The Organic Center and these prize recipients are taking steps to make organic farming practices more accessible and equitable, so farmers have the tools they need to combat climate change. Alden’s Organic, the leader in organic ice creams and frozen novelties, releases a new frozen dessert product line made with organic Greek yogurt in six delicious flavors.
