International Collaboration in Organic Agriculture

Opportunities for Research, Extension and Education in Uruguay

In 2006, an interdisciplinary team from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) at NC State University (NCSU) received an International Science and Education grant from USDA-CSREES to create programs focused on organic production and marketing. The project built on an existing relationship between the University of North Carolina system and the nation of Uruguay to promote internationalization of NCSU research, extension and education, and to strengthen cross-cultural services and programs.

The project team consisted of extension agents, NCSU students and faculty members from NCSU and NCA&T who participated in activities in Uruguay and the United States.
