Cal Poly’s Grimm Family Center for Organic Production and Research Forges Industry Partnerships

From Organic Produce Network's OPN Connect Newsletter:

"First established in 2021 with a donation from the Grimm family, Cal Poly’s Center for Organic Production and Research has been busy with multiple projects since its inception.

"Collaborating with the organic produce industry is a critical component of the center’s work, and it now has several industry partners. 'The center's main goal is to expand California organic production through applied research services and training future organic leaders and workers,' said Dr. Matthew Grieshop, who was named center director in January 2022. 'Therefore, partnering with industry is crucial for the center’s growth and success. Industry partners play a significant role in shaping the center's activities by providing research areas, funding support, and materials and offering guest lectures for Cal Poly students.'"
