Organic Transition

This project has two main objectives, the first is to provide growers with technical tools in horticulture, pest management, and economic analysis to develop organic agricultural production, and the second is to educate and integrate local college students with organic farmers from the Rio Grande Valley through studies conducted at grower’s farms and the advice of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension faculty. The project includes studies on cultural practices, crop protection, insect pollinators and economic analysis.
