About the Program Work Team:
The mission of the Organic Production and Marketing Program Work Team is to foster and increase meaningful applied and basic research, teaching and extension programs in all aspects of organic agriculture for New York State.
We intend to achieve this by:
- Expanding the definition of organic to include all agricultural sectors (ornamentals, turf, vegetables, fruit, field crops, dairy, livestock, marketing and value-adding).
- Providing a forum for discussion and action, for all stakeholders, including organic producers and consumers, marketers, nonprofits and certifying organizations, Cornell researchers, staff and extension educators.
- Increasing communication and productive collaboration between Cornell research and extension staff and the community of organic farmers and consumers.
- Advocating and promoting efforts in organic agriculture, by informing the CU CALS Dean's Advisory Council, CU Departments and their Chairs, the CU Administration and NYS government.
- Identifying, using or developing new and current resources (human, financial, physical) that may strengthen these relationships.
