Two Michigan agricultural organizations have secured nearly $5 million for a USDA Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities grant to expand the food supply chain in the state.
Star of the West Milling Company Sustainability Director Lisa Woodke tells Brownfield the project, A Climate Smart Strategy for the Michigan Foodshed: Nourishing our Land, Farmers, and Rural Communities, partners with Michigan Agriculture Advancement to increase the number of people focused on climate-smart ag practices.
“We’ve got all the technology that’s probably necessary, but what we don’t have are people to help the growers input that data,” she says.
