FOR MORE THAN SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS, RODALE INSTITUTE HAS BEEN RESEARCHING BEST PRACTICES FOR MANAGING PESTS AND DISEASES IN ORGANIC AGRICULTURE AND SHARING THOSE FINDINGS WITH FARMERS AND SCIENTISTS WORLDWIDE TO EDUCATE AND SUPPORT THE TRANSITION TO REGENERATIVE ORGANIC AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES. THROUGH ORGANIC LEADERSHIP, WE IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF PEOPLE AND THE PLANET. false false 15095348 1766356 685099 RODALE INSTITUTE (THE "INSTITUTE"), LOCATED IN KUTZTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA, IS AN INNOVATIVE 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT, DEDICATED TO ADVANCING REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE THROUGH INDEPENDENT SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, DIRECT FARMER SUPPORT INITIATIVES, CONSUMER EDUCATION, AND WORKFORCE TRAINING PROGRAMS. WIDELY RECOGNIZED AS THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE MODERN ORGANIC MOVEMENT IN THE US, RODALE INSTITUTE IS CELEBRATED AS A PRESTIGIOUS AGRICULTURAL ORGANIZATION, AND IS A TRUSTED PARTNER OF FARMERS, CORPORATIONS, AND STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS AND AGENCIES. THE WORK OF THE RODALE INSTITUTE, SINCE ITS ESTABLISHMENT IN 1947, IS GROUNDED IN THE PRINCIPLE THAT HEALTHY SOIL IS KEY TO HUMAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH. AS THE GLOBAL LEADER IN REGENERATIVE ORGANIC AGRICULTURE, OUR MISSION IS TO ADVANCE GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH AND BEST-IN-CLASS EDUCATION THAT ENABLES FARMERS TO TRANSITION TO REGENERATIVE ORGANIC AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES, THEREBY IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF THE WORLD'S SOIL AND SECURING THE GLOBAL FOOD SUPPLY. THE WORLD IS AT A CRITICAL INFLECTION POINT. THE RISE IN ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION, CHRONIC DISEASES, AND INCREASED FREQUENCY OF EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS REQUIRES US TO RECKON WITH HOW WE FEED THE WORLD. AS OUR ORGANIZATION NEARS IT'S 80TH YEAR, WE ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING THE RESEARCH, TRAINING, AND EDUCATION NECESSARY TO CATALYZE CHANGE IN OUR FOOD, AGRICULTURE, AND HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS. THE INSTITUTE IS COMMITTED TO CONDUCTING INNOVATIVE AND PRACTICAL RESEARCH DESIGNED TO UNCOVER THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT APPROACHES TO AGRICULTURE THAT WILL ENHANCE THE MANAGEMENT OF REGENERATIVE ORGANIC AGROECOSYSTEMS. THROUGH LONG-TERM COMPARISON TRIALS BETWEEN ORGANIC AND CONVENTIONAL SYSTEMS, ALONG WITH VARIOUS SHORT-TERM PROJECTS ACROSS DIFFERENT REGIONS IN THE UNITED STATES, WE SUPPORT A WIDE RANGE OF PRODUCERS AT VARIOUS SCALES. RODALE INSTITUTE HAS THREE MAIN AREAS OF FOCUS THAT GUIDE OUR RESEARCH: BOLSTER ORGANIC AGRICULTURE BY DEVELOPING INTEGRATED PEST, DISEASE, AND WEED MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES AS ALTERNATIVES FOR CHEMICAL APPLICATIONS AND FACILITATES THE TRANSITION TO ORGANIC LAND MANAGEMENT. ASSIST PRODUCERS IN ENHANCING THE RESILIENCY OF AGRICULTURAL ECOSYSTEMS TO WITHSTAND EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS. HELP ALLEVIATE NUTRITION DEFICITS IN THE POPULATION BY PROVIDING RESEARCH AROUND PRODUCING NUTRIENT-DENSE CROPS. THE INSTITUTE'S MAIN CAMPUS, A 450-ACRE ORGANIC FARM AND RESEARCH FACILITY, SERVES AS A LIVING LABORATORY, A WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT HUB, AND A GATHERING PLACE FOR THE FARMING COMMUNITY. THE CAMPUS IS THE SITE OF MANY OF THE INSTITUTE'S RESEARCH PROJECTS, INCLUDING THE FARMING SYSTEMS TRIAL ("FST"), THE LONGEST-RUNNING, SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISON OF CONVENTIONAL AND ORGANIC GRAIN SYSTEMS AND VEGETABLE SYSTEMS TRIAL ("VST"), A LONG-TERM FOOD NUTRITION EXPERIMENT. EDUCATION IS ALSO CRITICAL TO THE MISSION OF RODALE INSTITUTE. AMERICAN CONSUMER HABITS SUGGEST SURGING DEMAND FOR REGENERATIVE ORGANIC FARMERS. IN THE UNITED STATES, ORGANIC SALES HAVE TOPPED $62 BILLION ANNUALLY AND CONTINUE TO GROW. YET ONLY APPROXIMATELY 1% OF U.S. CROPLAND IS CERTIFIED ORGANIC. THAT IS WHY RODALE INSTITUTE IS HELPING FARMERS TRANSITION TO ORGANIC, WHILE TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION OF ORGANIC LEADERS. AT RODALE INSTITUTE, WE'RE INVESTED IN GIVING NEW FARMER TRAINEES THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO SUCCEED. WE OFFER HANDS-ON, VIRTUAL, AND CLASSROOM-BASED WORKFORCE TRAINING AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO NEW FARMERS THROUGH SEVERAL FARMER EDUCATION AND FELLOWSHIP PATHWAYS. RODALE INSTITUTE IS ASSISTING NEW FARMERS TO ESTABLISH OPERATIONS IN THE ORGANIC AGRICULTURE SECTOR, WORKING WITH CONVENTIONAL FARMERS TO TRANSITION TO ORGANIC, AND TEACHING EXISTING ORGANIC FARMERS THE MOST INNOVATIVE ORGANIC GROWING PRACTICES. AN ESTABLISHED AUTHORITY ON ORGANIC PRODUCTION METHODS, RODALE INSTITUTE OFFERS INTERNSHIPS TO BEGINNING FARMERS, INCLUDING SPECIAL PROGRAMS FOR MILITARY VETERANS, AS WELL AS WORKSHOPS AND ONLINE COURSES TO THE PUBLIC TO MAKE REGENERATIVE ORGANIC GROWING METHODS MORE ACCESSIBLE. RODALE INSTITUTE'S CONSULTING DIVISION, A TEAM OF EXPERTS IN THE USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC SECTOR, SIMPLIFIES THE PROCESS OF TRANSITIONING TO REGENERATIVE ORGANIC FARMING SYSTEMS. WE PUT TRAINED AGRONOMISTS AND CERTIFICATION EXPERTS ON FARMS IN A ONE-ON-ONE MENTORSHIP AND PERSONALIZED COACHING MODEL TO ADVISE TRANSITIONING FARMERS. OUR CONSULTANCY FOCUSES ON 4 CORE AREAS: TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR FARMERS MARKET/BUYER DISCOVERY AND CONNECTION TRANSLATING RESEARCH INTO PRACTICAL ADVICE CONNECTING AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITIES RODALE INSTITUTE'S CONSULTANCY HAS TWO DISTINCT ADVANTAGES IN ITS SERVICE TO FARMERS: 1) WE HAVE A NATIONAL PRESENCE THAT CAN ASSIST A BROAD GEOGRAPHIC CONSTITUENCY; AND 2) OUR CONSULTANTS HAVE DIVERSE EXPERTISE WHICH CAN HELP SOLVE FARMERS' MOST PRESSING NEEDS. IN ADDITION TO OUR HEADQUARTERS IN KUTZTOWN, PA, RODALE INSTITUTE ALSO OPERATES NINE SATELLITE LOCATIONS. SIX REGIONAL RESOURCE CENTERS SERVE AS HUBS FOR ORGANIC RESEARCH AND EDUCATION. THESE HUBS MEET THE NEEDS OF FARMERS IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING REGIONALIZED RESEARCH ON PESTS, DISEASES, WEEDS OR FERTILITY, AS WELL AS FIELD DAYS AND EXTENSION. HUBS ARE LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, MIDWEST (IOWA), SOUTHEAST (GEORGIA), PACIFIC NORTHWEST (WASHINGTON), PENNSYLVANIA (POCONO), AND EUROPE (PARMA, ITALY). ADDITIONAL CAMPUSES INCLUDE AN ORGANIC FARM AT A ST. LUKE'S UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL NETWORK LOCATION IN EASTON, PA, THE HISTORIC RODALE INSTITUTE FOUNDERS FARM IN EMMAUS, PA, AND A CERTIFIED ORGANIC VEGETABLE FARM AT A SENIOR LIVING FACILITY CAMPUS IN PA.
