• We address real-world challenges and opportunities faced by vegetable growers managing small to large farms across Ohio, the region, and globe. Our research and educational resources impact many people.
• We study vegetables, and vegetable farming as it is and could be done. We focus on tools and practices expected to improve the success and resilience of vegetable farms and quality of food they produce.
• We work year-round ... outside, in high tunnels and greenhouses, and in laboratories and offices. Individual tasks completed in all these settings vary, so they accommodate team members with different interests and abilities. Also, our activities change over time.
