Our Partners and Sponsors
Commercial vegetable and industrial crop production offers many opportunities. However, paths to obtaining the full benefits of the process are often blocked by complex barriers. A multifaceted, team approach that integrates the talents and knowledge of many people is required to shrink these barriers. With each improvement in commercial cropping systems, farmers, many other people and the environment profit. The VPSL is pleased to collaborate with individuals, groups, businesses and organizations near and far to meet that overall goal.
Working groups, centers, and interdisciplinary programs are one way in which people throughout agriculture form outcome-oriented teams. The VPSL works with members of OSU Vegetable Team, Great Lakes Vegetable Working Group, Organic Food and Farming Education and Research Program, Agroecosystem Management Program, Center for Advanced Functional Foods Research and Entrepreneurship, Food Innovation Center, Program of Excellence in Natural Rubber Alternatives, International Programs, and others to accomplish shared objectives. We also recommend that stakeholders consult other groups including the Agricultural Risk Analysis Program, Ohio Integrated Pest Management Program, Local Foods Team, Direct Marketing Team, and Social Responsibility Initiative.
That effort involves integrated research and extension activities and sponsorship. Below are the logos of a cross-section of sponsors of Vegetable Production Systems Laboratory activities.
