<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ohio State University has an on-farm research grant opportunity open with proposals due March 1, 2022.
<i>“…program objectives are to research the profitability, energy efficiency, social consequences and environmental soundness of sustainable agriculture practices and production systems. Also, the program aims to help farmers solve problems on their own farms,
possibly applying those principles to other farms as well.”</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please attached and below for details. Aquaculture projects have been funded in the past. Proposals need to come from OSU faculty or Extension personnel so please reach out (especially to myself, Nicole Wright
<a href="mailto:wright.1128@osu.edu">wright.1128@osu.edu</a> or Matt Smith <a href="mailto:smith11460@osu.edu">
