The Organic Farming Research Foundation (OFRF) will offer funding for organic seed quality or crop breeding projects only. Special funding is also available for research in organic crop breeding and seed quality thanks to a partnership with Seed Matters. The majority of grants fund agricultural research in certified organic settings.
OFRF funds research on organic farming systems and the dissemination of research results to the agricultural community. Proposals should articulate how the proposed research project will foster the improvement or adoption of organic farming systems.
Eligibility –
- The OFRF grants program is open to all applicants residing in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. OFRF does not fund projects outside of these countries.
- OFRF invites proposals from all applicants. OFRF particularly encourages farmers, ranchers, researchers, and Extension personnel to consider applying for funding. Farmers and ranchers often find that working with a professional researcher helps to design and carry out a research project, and OFRF encourages applications from such partnerships.
